Post 736 - Kerry James & The Corridors - Wonderful Summer - Don't Treat Me Like A Child


 Kerry Hall who worked at McDonalds and also ran the "Cheek" Fan Club, was up for anything and was happy to be molded into a pop star with Bob Taylor, a former member of Johnny Devlin’s Devils who became the musical director of this recording project. "Wonderful Summer" b/w "Don't Treat Me Like A Child" (100067) came out as a single under the name Kerry James. It was recorded in 1978 at Trafalgar Studios, Sydney by Graham K. Owens and Executive producer Glenn A, Baker. Baker talked Warners into releasing the single with a very attractive picture sleeve. The band was led by guitarist Mick Hamilton, who came up with the working name The Corridors, which was a pun on her surname. The A side was a cover of a Robin Ward song with the B side a cover of a Helen Shapiro number. Kerry, who stuck with the name, went on to sing with the band Cocky Laura and later she worked on cruise ships seeing the World. She now lives on the Gold Coast where she does a high energy club show and pays tribute to the great Tina Turner.  Flac
