The Sweet were one of those bands in the 70's that consistently was able to provide me with joy.
Formed in 1968 out of the
British Glam Rock scene they were able to parlay their success onto the American pop charts only by the second half of the 70's other then with Little Willy which had been a big hit earlier. In the U.K. and in parts of Europe they had a long string of huge hits (in the U.K. alone 13 Top 20 hits in the 70's).
Their 1977 promo only 12" release
Funk it Up is quite rare. It is still a high priced collectible and I'll have to admit that at the time the song passed me by completely. Not like
Fox on the Run which was a 45 I played to death.

Their last hit single
Love is Like Oxygen was a classic. Their harmonizing was outstanding.
