Author Chris Sutton returns to the podcast. He’s here to talk about his latest book Sparks 1969 to 1979: Every Album, Every Song. It’s part of Sonicbond’s On Track series. Beginning as a five-man band, the duo of Ron and Russell Mael retained the name and spent much of the seventies working with a succession of sidemen and collaborators. They ended the seventies on a high note with the collaboration with Italian composer and producer Giorgio Moroder for top 20 UK hit “No. 1 In Heaven”. Many who worked on Sparks records have shared their thoughts in the book. The popularity of Sparks has grown over the decades. In 2023 they sold out two nights at the Royal Albert Hall!
