[edit] Success

This article really should mention their success from 1975 to 1980, not gloss over it by saying "well, they were successful, and that's all you need to know." Mike H (Talking is hot) 23:48, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Halkias

I remember a few interviews of Greek traditional clarinet player Petroloukas Halkias, where he mentioned that "That's The Way (I Like It)" was actually a reworking of an improvisation of his by Harry Wayne Casey, who, during a jam session, pretty much told Halkias "I'll take this riff of yours and show you how it can become a massive hit". Actually, I happen to have an issue of Greek Hi-Fi and music magazine "Ήχος Εικόνα" (Sound Vision - http://www.hxos.gr) where he reiterates this story laying around somewhere. It doesn't look like he's laying any claim to profits from that single's sales (as he's been too busy exploring improvisations and crossovers between traditional Greek and Indian music over the past years); it seems more like he's trying to encourage other Greek musicians to go out there and try their luck in the international market. When I get back to my stash of issues from that magazine, I'll post a write-up about this. Elp gr 10:49, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Found the issue and the article. It's in the February 2004 issue. Elp gr 22:33, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dick Clark's New Years Rockin' Eve

Some mention should be made of their appearances on Dick Clark's new years eve shows. I think they made at least 3 live appearances with at least one replay of a previous performance of "get down tonight" in a year they weren't live. I've heard them enough on new years eve over the years that "get down tonight", and to a lesser extent "shake shake shake" had become the difinitive sounds of the new years eve experience.
