Ted Mulry Gang - TMG — live event
<p>TED MULRY first came to the attention of the music industry when he sent a</p><p>demo of some of his own compositions to Albert Productions in Sydney. The</p><p>company persuaded him to become a recording artist and he soon rose to</p><p>fame as a solo singer/songwriter with his own composition, the pop ballad</p><p>"Julia", which made the Australian charts in 1970. He followed that with</p><p>"Falling in Love Again", a song by The Easybeats songwriting team Harry</p><p>Vanda & George Young, which was a major hit in 1971.</p><p>Mulry was a prolific songwriter, and a number of bands and artists, including</p><p>John Farnham and Alison MacCallum, recorded his songs. Most notably, rock</p><p>band Sherbet had a hit with his song, "You're All Woman".</p><p>After getting tired of being backed by different backing bands, in 1972 he</p><p>switched from acoustic guitar to bass and formed his own band, TED MULRY</p><p>GANG (TMG), with guitarist Les Hall and drummer Herman Kovac. The band</p><p>signed a recording deal with Albert Productions in 1974 and released their</p><p>first album Here We Are. When that album didn't do as well as expected, the</p><p>record company wanted Mulry to go back to singing solo.[2] Ronnie Clayton</p><p>told them to stick to it and brought in second guitarist Gary Dixon to complete</p><p>the foursome. With his own band behind him he adopted a more hard rocking</p><p>style.</p><p>Their first major hit, and the biggest of their career was the 1975 single "Jump</p><p>in My Car" which spent 11 weeks at number one on the Australian singles</p><p>charts in 1976 and was the first Australian act to knock Abba off the number</p><p>one spot. It was the second single released from the Here We Are album</p><p>produced by Ted Albert at Alberts Studios. Over the next few years they</p><p>achieved a string of hit singles including a rocked up version of the old jazz</p><p>song, "Darktown Strutters' Ball", "Crazy", "Jamaica Rum" and "My Little Girl".</p><p>Many of TMG's songs, including "Jump in My Car", were co-written with</p><p>guitarist Les Hall. By late 1980 their chart success had ended but they</p><p>remained popular performers on the Australian pub circuit. In 1989, after</p><p>some time apart, the Ted Mulry gang reformed, releasing the album "Re-</p><p>Union" for Albert, on Sony. This release also marked the first release of the</p><p>Ted Mulry Gang on compact disc. Other CD reissues would follow in the early</p><p>90's.Ted passed away the day before his birthday on Sept 1st 2001</p>
