For me this is “classic Zarsoffs” as…

Read MoreDaddy Cool
Daddy Cool is one of those bands that were only around for a very short time yet their music is still played today, around fifty years later. After forming in 1970, they had almost immediate success with their debut single “Eagle Rock” going number 1. By August of 1972, less than 18 months after “Eagle…
