Smoke - My Friend Jack

There were a lot of groups named Smoke. This one is from the UK.

This song had to be rewritten to make the lyrics more obscure before EMI would allow them to record it. Still it is said that after three weeks on the charts, the BBC banned it. Even at that the record did well in Europe and topped the German chart.

One curiosity about them is that, under the name of "The Shots" for a time they were managed by Ron and Reg Kray, during a period when the Kray brothers felt that the entertainment business might be a good source of cash.

That one had Michael Lloyd (West Coast Pop Art
Experimental Band) involvement.

by Dan Seals and John Ford Coley, before they went off
on their own.
