Little River Band Provides Cool Change For Commodity Classic

Chuck Zimmerman

All right Commodity Classic. Now you’ve got my attention on the whole entertainment thing. CC just announced that the Evening of Entertainment will feature the Little River Band.

Described as “the best harmony band in the world,” the Little River Band is in its thirty-fifth year of producing and performing hit making music. The group has sold over 25 million records and has 13 American top 40 hits to their credit.

Formed in 1975, this Australian band was the first of the “Down Under” rock groups to crack the U.S. market. During their initial tour of the states, the band saw their 1976 single It’s a Long Way There make the U.S. Top 30 hit list. Before the 1970s were over, the Little River Band would release Top 10 hits Lady, Reminiscing, Cool Change and Lonesome Loser. With over 4 million plays, Reminiscing remains the most frequently aired song in American radio history. Considered one of Australia’s most significant bands, the Little River Band was inducted into the Australian Recording Industry’s Hall of Fame in 2004.

They are on my iPod and I do have them in my old (I don’t even know where it is) LP collection. You can follow them on Twitter.
