Daddy Who? Daddy Cool!

Around here, "Eagle Rock" might be remembered by a few 70s rock fanatics... perhaps. More likely, the song might sound vaguely familiar but people would draw a blank when asked about Daddy Cool.
I have been playing and replaying the "Eagle Rock" video on YouTube the past couple days.
Somewhat like my firm favorites Mud, Ross Wilson's Daddy Cool played 1950s rock in the glam-rock era of the 1970s.
Australia's Daddy Cool avoided the fashion excesses of the glamsters, however, concentrating on the good-time factor of the music.
That's where "Eagle Rock" comes in to the frame. It is one of the all-time, good-time rock songs. So much so that this 1971 down-under classic reportedly influenced Elton John into his "Crocodile Rock" period.
"Eagle Rock" is better. It dominated the Aussie charts, holding the national top spot for eight weeks and the Melbourne local chart for 17 weeks.
On payday I will order a Daddy Cool compilation off of Amazon. Then, I can rock away the rest of the summer.
