The Young and Moody Band (featuring Lemmy/bass!)

A somewhat obscure 7" by The Young and Moody Band, who was a U.K. blues rock band from the late 70's to the early 80's headed by Status Quo co-writer Bob Young and Whitesnake guitarist Micky Moody. The band started uner the name "Young & Moody" releasing a self-titled album on Magnet Records in 1977. Later they had changed their name to "The Young & Moody Band." Their 1981 single "Don't Do That" also featured Lemmy from Motorhead, Cozy Powell, & The Nolans and charted at # 63 on the U>K. singles chart.

Their follow up single: "These Eyes" was used in a U.K. jeans commercial (circa 1981). Grahm Bonnet (ex-Rainbow) did the vocals (but not the single), and the lyrics "These Eyes" were replaced with "Levis." Written by Young & Moody, it was sung by Ed Hamilton, who wrote 'Night Games" from Bonnet's third album lineup. (such a small world, eh?) Both tracks were available as singles on Bronze Records and featured on the compilation album A Quiet Nigh In. When released on that compilation album, it earned Gold Discs abroad.
