I'm 29 and really love explore classic music.. Omg I just can't believe ..dulu2 singapura dan malaysia ada band mcm ni..they sound as good as bee gees laa..
Hello this band started with me in 1968 before that they were the Surfers with a completely different lineup altho' when I joined them the name was still the Surfers but only for 6 mths then became the October Cherries writting original materials
I found this by accident and I must say that I think that I've found myself a new favorite band! Their music is fabulous and I find that it opens up my memory bank to a more peaceful time. Thank you for posting this great music!
@robbink57 Still not too late to realise. Yes TH-cam is the place for ppl of our age group. So, why not OC, The Strollers & the like ? Yeah, jamming, cycling to school, listening to records and the transistor radio ..... sounds familiar. Thanks for dropping in.
Thanks for watching. Yes, I have OC's cover of Butterfly. A guy I met thru' my TH-cam channel from US came to visit me & brought with him two CD albums of OC. If you want them, send your e-mail address to my Inbox. Cheers.
Keith, you are really something! This song is also on October Cherries's It's a Beautiful Day album. I've found the cassette tape (minus the cover!)and would send it to you in due course to play around with. i regretted not buying the CD.
To be honest this was when I joined them we got into original music by us 1969 onwards to 1974 when Peter Diaz walked out on us during our concert in Mumbai that's how we broke up
kaycw, I sent you all the OC & The Strollers songs in MP3 format, including your fav Butterfly, but you didn't check mail. All the songs were jammed up in your Inbox. Try sending you a mail to inform you to empty your mailbox but was of no avail. Just too bad. No can do.
The October Cherries were as good as anything from out west...in fact better than many..We didn't hear much of them because for a time they were in Germany or at least out of SG. They had a very "professional " sound .
vivienne82lo, I think it's high time I put up the OC's cover of Butterfly here on my channel. Everyone's asking for it. Better still, leave your e-mail add. in my Inbox. I'll send you the whole album.
It's a BEAUTIFUL SONG. Thanks OCTOBER CHERRIES. They were once called THE SURFERS. Regards.

You're most welcome. Glad you found this by accident. Bands like this one in the 60s/70s are hard to find nowadays.
Good for ya, HP. Same here, the title didn't click at first, but the line 'Sitting alone on a haystack.... " brings back everything. Great song.
These songs are pure lovely songs.eases the mind.sad that arent many people are aware of their existance n other bands eg western union..

How popular were they back in the 70's? Lived in Singapore for 5 years and my parents loved The Cherries. So I don't know if they are the same one's.
You got a great band!

..Loved them since 'The Surfers' days...& I was in 'Far Away' Sri Lanka.. Joseph C. Pereira has more details about me.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope they caught the spoil-sport.
Better yet....the OC's drummer taught me drums!!! :D

Would it be plagiarism in a sense if 'dont cry for me argentina' sounded like this song?
Yes the manager of the band thought the same way as you.
