Starland Vocal Band (1976) Starting All Over Again

The Afternoon Delight hit makers may have been a one hit wonder group by all accounts but that just makes them ripe for a few posts of their lesser known songs. Their big vocal arrangements built around two female singers supported by the songwriting and vocals of their partners along with their late 70s timing means you could call them an American ABBA. A folky singer songwriter ABBA to be precise and this piano driven pop song is uplifting and irresistibly catchy. It should have been bigger than AD with extraordinary lead vocals by Margot Chapman who sings some scat and operatic notes in the infectious tag.
