Was still in my teens when d song first came on air holding d no 1 spot on d Malaysian pop charts in 1970. Now m nearly 70 but d lyrics, nand kumar's vocals and d awesome organ by mike magness I think, is still fresh in my mind. Malaysians were and are still loyal supporters of MIM brands esp music & sports. Imagine at that time, young impressionable Malaysians always get their ears glued to d radio for top of
to listen to their latest international hits which was invariably ruled by bands like d Beatles or bee gees at d time.. but that was d first no 1 chart topper by an all Malaysian pop band singing in english! One could not be prouder than that!
Yep that was me. I shall send you the correct song titles to your Inbox later. If you are interested in this genre, I have more from The Strollers from their Best Collection CD. Thanks.
If you are talking about ChrisGoesRock.blogspot then I guess you have downloaded the songs. And if you are referring to N.W.K. according to the song list there, it is actually Silly Jokes. The names are all mixed up. Yeah I wonder what N.W.K. stands for. Must look up the CD sleeve of the album.
Excellent songwriting and good music arrangement by Strollers from Malaysia in the early 1970's.

Hi Keith, a fantastic post. This is surely a trip down memory lane.
Come visit us again at Cobra Club Every friday

Strollers had a competition from the October cherries 🍒
I hope Somebody do karaoke songs of the strollers.
I knew 3 of them personally... Hassan, Hussein & Mike Magnus. How come Hussein's name is not in the intro? ... Instead there's Ramli?
+Saodah Omar wow Puan Saodah..really?
I also wonder why....Hassan Idris and Hussein Idris are brothers, if I am not wrong.

Thanks Keith for posting. Great trip down memory lane. What other songs were their originals?
Come join "The Strollers Legacy" FB Group and follow the band as they reunite for a concert on 4.11.16 at Royal Selangor Club in KL.
Anybody know whether Strollers still playing in 2017? They were so good, just as good as Western bands.
