Middle of the Road could be considered a fore-runner of ABBA. The beat is there, the harmonies ring ring, the production has the blast at the end. In the end, though,this is for only those who like a period of 70's rock, who lived, loved through it, and want to keep it alive!!!

Music[edit]

Carr's first group was The Southerners.[3] In 1971, the group Middle of the Road was formed, and Carr had success with songs such as 'Soley, Soley' and 'Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep'. Following the death of her mother Cecilia, Carr found it difficult to sing the lines 'Where's your Mama gone?' and 'Woke up this morning and my Mama was gone' from that song.[5]
