The song that gear changed both the sound and the success of sibling singers Lyndsay and Chrissie Hammond aka Cheetah. 'Spend The Night' begins with a gentle approach, but fires up and proves what kick ass rock chicks Cheetah were. 'Spend the night' performed better in Sydney where it reached the Top 20, but only managed #33 nationally, but has endured as a charismatic local example of where pop meets rock and roll. Cheetah would capitalise on this release with a full length album and struck a deal with CBS Portrait label in America, but further success eluded them, and despite 'Rock & Roll Women' being a solid album; it did not sell well, and 'Bang Bang' the single lifted, was not a Top 40 hit. This for me is one of the crying shame's of the Aussie industry that singers of this caliber were not nurtured further. With 'Walking in the rain' (Ronettes cover) in 1978 and 'Spend the night' in 1980, Cheetah are a two hit wonder, but as session players and rock chicks, their cache and reputation transcends that paltry statistic!
