J.J. Barrie

b. Barrie Writers, 7 July 1933, Ottawa, Canada. A previous Blue Mink and Sea manager, Barrie considered songwriting and in early 1976 co-wrote ‘Where’s The Cause’ with Terry Britten for Glen Campbell. They delivered a demonstration to his maker but he recommended Barrie record it. This he do, unsuccessfully. Undaunted, he documented a edition of the united states ballad ‘No Charge’ by himself label Power Exchange (offering an unaccredited vocal from Vicki Dark brown); the sole shot up the united kingdom charts to #1 1. He re-released ‘Where’s The Cause’ like a follow-up nonetheless it again didn’t graph. Power Exchange got an added UK Best 20 strike – ‘Who’s Gonna Like Me’ from the Imperials (without Small Anthony) in Dec 1977 – and the label ceased trading. Barrie came back to Canada and attempted to continue music publishing, designer management and company representation – his previous jobs through the 60s. In 1980, he came back to the united kingdom to record his personal ‘You Can’t Get ‘Em All’ and ‘It’s Just A Video game’ – with British football supervisor Brian Clough – that have been released on MCA past due in the entire year.
