odyssey

[sammyjl]

can anyone remember a group called odyssey and what did they sing? i think they were around in the 80's!!

[LeMarchand]

Their most famous tracks were probably "Use It Up and Wear It Out" and "Going Back to My Roots".

[andy hughes]

And don't forget 'If You're Looking For A Way Out' which has to be one of the saddest songs ever written - and the way it is sung is genuinely tear-jerking. I have to go now, I'm filling up!

[EliPledge]

Great group - best single was Inside out from 82 - written by Scots nationalist nutter Jesse Rae.

[Anna Rack]

Don't forget "Native New Yorker" from 77/78!

[EliPledge]

Ah yes, Native New Yorker by, I think, the great songwriting team Linzer/Randell - or at least one of them - now why can't Black America make music like this now instead of revolting Hip-Hop??? I think Use It Up ... was Odyssey's only No. 1 in britain, for a week in about July 1980.
