Sailor

Sailor is a British pop group known for their distinctive, nautical-themed music and stylings, which emerged in the 1970s. Their sound is a unique amalgamation of pop-rock, soft rock, and occasional forays into Latin-flavored compositions, characterized by catchy melodies, intricate vocal harmonies, and the use of the Nickelodeon as a prominent instrument, a signature that lends their music a quirky, old-time vaudeville vibe. They achieved notable success in the mid-70s with hits like "A Glass of Champagne" and "Girls, Girls, Girls," both of which firmly established Sailor as staples on the European music charts of the era.

Over the years, although their mainstream popularity transitioned to a more cult following, Sailor's influence on the pop genre and their ability to entertain has not waned. Their catalogue of work, which can be explored in compilations like "Treasure Trove: Anthology 1975-2005," spans thirty years and showcases the group's versatility and adaptability. Despite changes in the line-up and the evolving music landscape, Sailor continues to resonate with audiences both old and new, as demonstrated in live recordings such as "A Glass Of Champagne: Live." Their dedication to their unique sound and persona is echoed in their more recent materials including "La Cumbia" and their classic tracks "Traffic Jam" and "Stiletto Heels," which emphasize their fun, eclectic, and whimsical style.
