Fox (band)
Encyclopedia
Fox was a British
-based pop
band
popular in the mid 1970s. Led by American
songwriter
and record producer
Kenny Young
, the band was perhaps best known for its charismatic Australia
n lead singer Susan Traynor, who performed under the name Noosha Fox.
" for The Drifters
in 1964. Young had worked off and on with the Australian singer Susan Traynor for a number of years in the United States
.
As an uncredited member of The Charmettes, produced by Young, Traynor had scored a minor hit single
with "Please Don't Kiss Me Again" and she had later appeared on Young's album, Last Stage For Silverworld, where she was listed as 'Amanda'. Both Traynor and Young then relocated to England
in 1968, after Young had written Reparata and the Delrons
' "Captain of Your Ship
", which had been a UK
hit
.
Young then discovered Northern Irish
singer Clodagh Rodgers
on a television show, who had recently released the single
, "Play The Drama till The End". The partnership produced hit singles over a three year period, beginning with "Come Back and Shake Me". With this, Rodgers became something of a blueprint for the group, as she recorded demos
of some of the songs which would eventually surface on the first Fox album in 1975, as well as earlier Young tunes.
Meanwhile, Traynor was in a folk
group called Wooden Horse, which released two album
s before breaking up. After his success with Rogers, Young founded Fox with Irish
singer Herbie Armstrong, recruiting Traynor as lead singer. She adopted the stage name 'Noosha', a scrambled version of her own name, and a glamorous image inspired by Marlene Dietrich
, wearing elegant dresses to contrast with the scruffy look of the rest of the group.
The band's self-titled
debut album was released on GTO Records
in 1975 to critical acclaim. The lead single, "Only You Can", was a Top 10 hit in the UK Singles Chart
, the follow-up "Imagine Me Imagine You" also reached the Top 20 and "He's Got Magic" was a hit in some Europe
an countries. Also the track "Love Ship" was played extensively on Radio Caroline
, and was subsequently adopted as one of their theme tunes
in the 1970s. Shortly after the release of their first album, Fox made a cameo appearance
in the film
Side by Side.
However, Noosha was relegated to backing vocals
for half the songs on the late 1975 follow-up album, Tails of Illusion
, with the other songs sung by Young. The album enjoyed neither the critical nor the sales success of its predecessor; without Noosha's distinctive voice, casual listeners did not associate the songs with the band that had recorded "Only You Can". Roger Taylor
of Queen
added backing vocals to the song "Survival".
The band returned to the charts
in April 1976 when "S-S-S-Single Bed" was a Top 5 UK hit and topped the Australian chart. (U.K.
girl group Bananarama
did their own version of this song in 2009 on their album Viva
.) Again, the band failed to capitalize upon its momentum, and the accompanying album Blue Hotel
(1977), yielded only one further single, even though Noosha was reinstated as lead singer on all its tracks.
Noosha Fox left the band after Blue Hotel. Armstrong and Young continued to work together in the band Yellow Dog
, whilst Armstrong went on to work with Van Morrison
, and Solley later joined Whitesnake
. Noosha launched a solo
career, and her first single, "Georgina Bailey", written and produced by Young, briefly entered the Top 40 in the UK (reaching number 31) in 1977. However, its title and subject matter (about a girl whose uncle turns out to be gay) were reminiscent of Rod Stewart
's then-current single "The Killing of Georgie
", and the single's relatively weak chart placement meant that her planned solo album, already partly recorded, was shelved.
In 1979, Noosha Fox tried again to start her solo career with a single, "The Heat Is On", on Chrysalis Records
. A cover version
by ABBA
's Agnetha Fältskog
was a big European hit four years later. Noosha recorded several singles in the early 1980s for the Earlobe label but none were successful, and she evidently retired from the music industry, although she did not return to Australia.
Fox reformed briefly in 1980, releasing the new wave
-influenced "Electro People", written as the theme music for the Kenny Everett
Show. The band considered a reunion in the early 1990s, but the tracks recorded at this time were unreleased until 2004, when they appeared as bonus tracks on the Tails of Illusion CD
.
It was reported in 2007 on BBC Radio 4
's The Music Group that Noosha Fox was recording a solo album of electropop, and that she has her own website.
In April 2011, British scientist and journalist Ben Goldacre
announced on his Twitter
account that Noosha Fox is in fact his mother. He tweeted this while watching a repeat of a 1976 episode of Top of the Pops
which included his mother's performance of S-s-s-single bed. He also tweeted that his mother is currently working on new material.
Herbie Armstrong recently tried to find solo success, appearing on the 2011 series of Britain's Got Talent
. He made it through to the live semi-finals, but did not make it through to the live final. In his semi-final, he appeared singing a version of Barry Manilow
's hit Mandy.
