The Sweet
The Sweet (also referred to as Sweet, and originally called Sweetshop) are a British/American glam rock band that rose to worldwide fame in the 1970s with their most prolific line-up: lead vocalist Brian Connolly, bass player Steve Priest, guitarist Andy Scott, and drummer Mick Tucker.
The band were formed in 1968 and achieved their first hit "Funny Funny" in 1971 after teaming up with songwriters Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman and record producer Phil Wainman. During 1971 and 1972, their musical style followed a marked progression from the Archies-like bubblegum style of "Funny Funny" to a Who-influenced hard rock style supplemented by a striking use of high-pitched backing vocals.
The band achieved notable success in the UK charts, with thirteen Top 20 hits during the 1970s alone, with "Block Buster!" (1973) topping the chart, followed by three consecutive number two hits in "Hell Raiser" (1973), "The Ballroom Blitz" (1973) and "Teenage Rampage" (1974). The band turned to more hard rock style with their mid-career singles like 1974's "Turn It Down". Their first self-written and produced single, "Fox on the Run" (1975), also reached number two on the UK charts. These results were topped in West Germany and other countries on the European mainland, where the band was very popular. They also achieved success and popularity in the United States with the top ten hits Little Willy, The Ballroom Blitz, and Fox on the Run.

The Sweet (album)
The Sweet was a compilation album released as Sweet's debut album in the USA, substituting for 1971's "Funny How Sweet Co-Co Can Be", which was not given a US release. (The band's second album, "Sweet Fanny Adams" was also not given a US release, but tracks from that and the band's third album "Desolation Boulevard" were combined on the US version of that album to compensate for this.)
The album consists primarily of singles and B-sides released in the U.K. and Europe in 1972 and 1973. One of the singles, "Little Willy", was Sweet's first and greatest hit in the U.S. and was released as a single. The singles "Wig-Wam Bam", "Hell Raiser" and "Block Buster" were also on the album. Commercially it did not do well, only reaching #191 in the charts.

You're Not Wrong for Loving Me
by: The SweetTake me up when I fell down
you're like the sunshine in the sky
You are fine to have around
It's plain to see, I'm satisfied
People say, you're not good to me
you're not wrong for loving me
Don't lay me down
Kind of things that in my life
no one knows but you can guess
my goal in life's to meet the rainbow
Seems like things are never there
People say, you're not good to me
you're not wrong for loving me
Don't lay me down
Doo di doo doo di doo ...
Take me up when I fell down
you're like the sunshine in the sky
You are fine to have around
It's plain to see, I'm satisfied
