      Paul Roberts wrote the song some years earlier than this production but I think it was Luigi Salvoni who picked up on it's potential as a hit and put the band together for this version.
      Noel McCalla went on to front Manfred Mann's Earth Band and Loz Netto still records today with many albums under his belt.

    FYI the name of the band Sniff ‘n’ the Tears means Sniff and the Tears. Not sniffing tears.
    Origin of the name:
    When naming the band, Paul Roberts (vocals, guitar) suggested "The Tears", but their manager suggested "Sniff 'n' the Tears" because Roberts had hay fever and sniffed a lot.

  • @roberthunter4884

    Well, it's lesson time. The original formation of the band was in 1973 catching gigs wherever they could but they hadn't gained any notoriety so Paul Robert's (lead singer and founder) dissolved the band and moved to France where he met Luigi Salvoni who had heard a couple of Robert's demos and decided to be Paul's producer and drummer.Salvoni used to be in a band called Moon along with guitarist Loz Netto, who also joined the group. They then added bassist Chris Birkin and guitarist Mike Dyche. Alan Fealdman was the keyboardist. Although the song was recorded in 1978, the record label was going through a distribution change and the album wasn't released until a year later in 1979. The single, "Driver's Seat" used guest keyboardist Keith Miller and guest backup vocalist Noel McCalla, who had been Moon's lead singer. The album Fickle Heart was a success, mainly due to the single "Driver's Seat", however, shortly after the release of the album, the band had fractured with members going off to pursue other interests. The band reformed with new members and moved forward, however, "Fickle Heart' was still their only major success.To this day, Paul is the only member left playing in the group. Now the fun stuff!!! The band was originally going to be called The Tears, but Salvoni suggested Sniff 'n' The Tears because Paul had severe hayfever and was always sniffing due to his runny nose.,So Paul was Sniff and The Tears was the band. The 'n' represents the word 'and ' , it's not like sniffing the Tears, it's a common mistake. Paul also had a slight speech impediment so people misheard the lyrics "a little jiving on a Saturday night" instead they heard "a little driving " However the lines that follow describe that they had indeed been dancing. The song has nothing to do with driving. According to Paul it's about the fragmented, conflicting thoughts and emotions that might follow up breakup of a relationship. To be in the Driver's Seat is to be in charge, to be in control of your life. Paul was also a great artist, he painted the cover of the album,,which you see on the face of the bass drum. And now you know the rest of the story. This is still one of my all time favorites. Anyway, loved the review, love you guys, take care and stay safe ❤️

    In August 1979 along with ten others, I traveled in aTrekAmerica minibus from New York to Los Angeles via the southern states. During the three weeks of the trip, Drivers Seat was on the radio, many times every day of the journey, but we all loved it and never got tired of it. It was already a hit back in England where we all lived, so it was great to find that it was also a big hit in the USA. Hearing it again on your show brought the memories of a fantastic experience and journey flooding back.

    One of the great songs from 1979 that helped kill Disco. Even though they were a one hit wonder, they shared the charts with My Sharona, I Want You To Want Me, Let's Go by the Cars, and even The Devil Went Down to Georgia.

    This is from 1978, though the song was written and first demoed in 1973. The guy singing falsetto is Noel McCalla, He was a solo artist who sang backup and toured with thus band fur two years. He was also a studio songer appearing on a bunch of other people's recirds at this time including the first solo album by Mike Rutherfordof Genesis. From 1991 - 2009 he was the lead singer of Manfread Mann's Earth Band.

Gary Numan, Devo, Sniff 'N the Tears, Romeo Void, Wall of Voodoo, Missing Persons, etc... great music that set the stage for an incredible decade of music. I strongly recommend a deep dive into 1978-1983- you won't regret it!

    One could see the band as a guy called "Sniff" and the band is "the Tears", i.e. Sniff and the Tears. Not sure if that is the intention or not. It is an interesting song, almost representing a transition from late 70s guitar driven rock and the early intro into keyboard new wave. I am glad you did this tune though, since in tends to get lost in the shuffle.

    The song is classic. It's amazing that the song was written way before it was actually released. The one that was released the second time is when it took off. It has this great acoustic intro with a driving drum beat all the way through the song so you can dance to it. And the guitar how tall is simply amazing. And what was totally unique about the song. back in the 79 you couldn't compare this to any other song. You heard nothing like this song before.

I have been listening to music since 1969 and this song from summer of 79 is still one of my favorite songs of all time! - so stoked that you reviewed it and liked it. I know you have 1 million requests but their follow up song was called “new lines on love” and it’s a pretty cool tune as well and it is also on TH-cam.
