Perth pop group The Valentines was, for a brief period, one of the most popular bands in the country. Although they started out a energetic soul/R&B band, their best known image was associated with the so-called "bubblegum pop" phenomenon of 1968-70. But there was a wild side to the band which was evident in their live performances (and their off-stage carousing). These days, of course, they're best known by reference to the fact that one of the singers ended up in a little band called AC/DC - although the enormous interest in them has resulted in many previously unreleased tracks becoming available in recent years. The Valentines formed in Perth in mid-1966, bringing together members of three leading local beat groups: Scott and Milson were from The Spektors, Lovegrove, Ward and Cooksey from The Winztons, and Findlay from top WA band Ray Hoff & The Off Beats. Playing a mixture of soul, R&B and mod covers, by the start of 1967 they were already Perth's top group. A major drawcard was the double-vocal attack of dynamic frontmen Bon Scott and Vince Lovegrove, and within a few weeks of their live debut they were packing in crowds

    August 3rd, 2008 at 12:58:33 You probably remember the original hit by the Foundations. They were a UK group who sounded just like like an R+B group from the US. This is a cover. Very nice too. I can't believe Bob Scott did this before AC/DC . Quite a different thing all together Hopefully when Bush is gone we can be friends with rest of the world again,

    August 3rd, 2008 at 14:30:29 Wow, those days were cool. I never knew who did that song. I liked it back in my youth. Used to flip cards to the good old songs. Love those days. Because now the world is screwed. High gas prices bring depression times. Meat prices are priced so high they will be out of business along with other products. This country is run into the ground for the final count. Thanks George Bush. I believe you are trying to run the government out of business. But you are taking the whole country with it.

    August 3rd, 2008 at 16:48:23 Digais lo que digais Bon es el mejor cantante del rock n roll.
  17. JOHFRIT Says:
    August 3rd, 2008 at 17:11:22 I thought the lead singer was Mickey Dolenz (from the Monkees). Imagine Bon jumping off that tier and busting out, "I'm on the Highway to Hell..."
  18. IRUS Says:
    August 3rd, 2008 at 17:34:21 You sound like a musician who is frustrated because their band never got their "big break". Well, I hope you're not a sell-out now and are still playing music for the sake of it and not working in a cubicle or waiting tables or ANYthing other than busting your balls on stage 'cause those are the limitations you're placing on Rock n Roll. What, you think all entertainers should be one-trick ponies?

    August 3rd, 2008 at 18:43:18 Ok, i don't know where the Bon is a sellout came from but first off, he didn't sell out to rock 'n' roll, he was drummer for a band called the Spektors. Second, this wasn't the only thing they did. The Valentines covered all fields from jazz and blues to pop and rock. Third(for the person that said unusual jump from here to AC/DC) he was in a progressive rock band called Fraternity that had pop-rock traits, there's the fade to pure rock 'n' roll.

    August 3rd, 2008 at 19:29:16 Bon Scott was very lucky to sound like he did. He was born with a voice of greatness. He used it every way he could. This was a great sounding song. I loved it as a kid. Now I am into Metal only. Rock on world. Rock n Roll will never die.
