Dr Hook were regular visitors to Aussie shores and charts from the early seventies right through to the early 80's, when their run of hits eventually dried up. Australia made their first release: "Sylvia's Mother" a #1 hit, a feat they would match with the success of "Walk right in" in 1977. 

Strangely, not a hit at home in America - failing to crack the Top 40, this stomper of a track was an airwaves favourite, as were so many of their classic hits. A bit pop, a bit country and a bit soft rock, but always a whole lot of fun - they were larrikin performers but musically a tight outfit with over two dozen chart hits around the world. "Walk right in" entered the Top 100, exactly 35 years ago this week, and would go on to spend 5 weeks at the top of the chart and 3 months in the Top 10 alone! It is a memorable track.
Enjoy!
