Untitled
Could somebody enter this information about the rock band clout in a some sensible form.

Clout

Clout were originally a 5-piece, South African million-selling all-girl (rock)group formed in 1977, best for the song 'Substitute', that reached UK#2 for 3 weeks in June 1978 and achieved #1 status in New Zealand, Australia, Germany, France, Belgium, Holland and South Africa. Went to #67 in the USA for 1 week in September 1978 and stayed 10 weeks in the US charts. The song 'Substitute' was a cover version of an obscure Righteous Brothers' song, 'Substitute' (composed by Willie Wilson).

Thanks very very much, for adding my information; In my opinion it was important to mention them because they are one of the oldest all girl rock bands, and as a little girl when I saw them on TV they were a rarety and inspiration for me that women can do anything.


 * My pleasure; if you have any other information do add it. --Mel Etitis ( &Mu;&epsilon;&lambda; &Epsilon;&tau;&eta;&tau;&eta;&sigmaf; ) 18:47, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
