As Lyle rightly said, and why the hell don't they? It's 1973 and there are five talented sexy men on a stage wearing women's clothes oh so well, its so obviously feminine but has this masculine edge, and back then this was cool, JLS couldn't get away with thigh high turquoise platforms. This video was taken from a programme called The Old Grey Whistle Test presented by Bob Harris and he later quoted that they were 'mock rock' and wouldn't go anywhere but how wrong he was! Bet that one was hard to swallow bearing in mind the impact The New York Dolls created paving the way for a future generation of music including PUNK and GLAM ROCK. To think we may not of had the listening and visual pleasure of David Bowie and Blondie. So have a lil listen and be in awe the amazing sound, outrageous outfits and gyrating hips of David Johanson!
