Harley Quinne

This UK act was made by Uk songwriting and production team, Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway, being a promotional vehicle for the 1972 composition entitled ‘New Orleans’ (not the Gary ‘U.S.’ Bonds perennial). It had been recorded using a phalanx of program players and released on Bell Information. BBC Radio 1 plugs eased it that fall months in to the UK Best 20, plus some likely-looking lads had been employed to lip-synch it on tv’s THE SURFACE OF THE Pops in glam-rock garb. Nevertheless, its two follow-ups (‘Rock and roll And Roll Can be Back Once again’ and a revival of Johnnie Ray’s ‘Such A Night time’) were not able to do it again the ‘New Orleans’ wonder – as well as the project was deserted.
