The Mojos
Nicky Crouch guitar
Terry O'Toole piano
Keith Alcock bass guitar
Bob Conrad (John Conrad) drums
The Mojos' second record and only sizeable hit, 'Everything's alright', in spite of its unoriginal title, can be seen today to have been at least some months, if not years, before its time. A great lead voice, some fine rocking piano, and some unexpected chord changes took it to No. 9 in the charts, but after that - nothing.
In spite of a good Merseybeat pedigree
- a strong local reputation, a triumphant spell at the Hamburg Star
Club, a guitarist who had been a member of the renowned Faron's
Flamingos - the Mojos' popularity dropped so swiftly that their fourth
record was beaten in terms of sales by a completely unknown group, the
Cherokees, whose version of the same song rose two places higher in the
charts in the days when these things mattered.
This extraordinary change in - the group's fortunes may have had something to do with the fact that they were under contract to Decca, a company so huge in terms of publicity and exposure, that groups who were less than phenomenally successful were not given much individual attention.
