Sweet FA

After reading the piece on the sweet or sweet or Wainwrights gentlemen, to give them thier original title I had to carry out further research. Ian Gillan was replaced by Brian Connolly then they found the guitarst Andy Scott who lives a few miles from me. Everyone knows the stoy, Chin  and Chapman wrote most of the hits at first, thier album tracks sounded closer to Dee Purple. Nicky Chin and Andy Scott have written thier history, Steve Priests Sweet make a decent living touring the states and canada, Scotts Sweet have UK  and Europe. Brian Connolly was perhaps the most beautiful young man I have ever seen. His alcoholism and death cloud the truth. We have film footage and opinions. The ruth is Sweet without Brian were a mediocre band, like Sabbath without Ozzy.
