Does anyone else remember the work of B A Robertson?

[BananaBeforeBed]

Haven’t thought about him in years, but just replayed some of his songs on YouTube.

He had a very clever way with words.

Bang Bang!

God yes, I remember him. Had a bit of a crush at the time.

Didn’t he sing about being in the kitchen at parties? If so, then yes

To be or not to be my lover.....

Or something like that

Oh no, just googled- not on his wiki page

One of my favourite 80's songs . Bang Bang the mighty fall

I think the kitchen at parties thing might have been Jonah Lewie, but loved B A Robertson.

To be or not to be my lover, in hardback or in paper cover ...

Je Suis Un Rock Star...

Practically as much french as I still know

I loved him - he wrote some very clever and funny lyrics. He did some acting too I think.

...except I now don’t think that was him....

Je suis un rock star was plastic Bertrand

OMG THAT WAS BILL WYMAN. At pretty much the same time as BA.

And to think I wanted to be an NME journalist.

If I had more self respect I’d ask for my contributions to be deleted

Je Suis un Rock Star was Bill Wyman. Ca Plane Pour Moi was Plastic Bertrand.

Bill Wyman. Read the lyrics. And remember his relationship with the 13-year-old Mandy Smith.

Yes was catchy teen fodder. So good!

Bang bang. I remember that.

What did BA stand for?

He was Scottish wasn't he? Cool in a Kaftan rings a bell?

Cool in the Kalyan. Knocked it off, bang bang, to be or not to be - great stuff.

I think he was Brian.

I remember him as being the epitome of 80s slick.

Just re-watched the videos on Youtube. They are not as slick as I recall

I remember BA Robertson and liked his songs.

I think he's got quite a distinctive style, but apparently not by the number of other people he's been confused with on here

B A Robertson. No.

B A Baracus. Yes. Quit your jibber jabber.

He was always great fun on Saturday Swap Shop

Loved him! Bang Bang!!!

Multi-coloured Swap Shop.

BA Robertson doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
