Hush - Glad All Over (1975)

(Dave Clark - Mike Smith)
Australia
#17 Sydney #6 Melbourne #5 Brisbane #7 Adelaide #6 Perth

Single on Wizard label.

Glam band from Sydney with a boogie beat, Hush inspired teenybopper hysteria in the mid-70s, fuelled by their appearances on the national TV pop show Countdown.

The band reformed for a charity performance in 2004: see John Elder’s interview with Keith Lamb, who founded the band in 1971.

Suggestion from Terry Stacey.

North London British Invasion quintent, promoted as having 'The Tottenham Sound' in competition with Merseybeat.

Red herring

Same title but not the same song as ‘Glad All Over’ by Hush.

Single on Sun label, original version of a song famously played in 1963 by The Beatles on the BBC’s Pop Goes The Beatles and released on the Beatles’ Live at the BBC (1994).

Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett were prolific US songwriters whose partnership lasted from 1945 until 1970. They wrote numerous songs for Elvis Presley films, and for British pop star Cliff Richard.
