Racey
Racey scored a series of hit singles in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand including "Lay Your Love on Me" and "Some Girls". Their Smash and Grab album sold about 500,000 copies worldwide.
Racey's first single, "Baby It's You", was penned by Smokie members Chris Norman and Pete Spencer. Their second single, "Lay Your Love on Me", was the group's first hit single, peaking at No.3 in late 1978/early 1979. The third single, "Some Girls", was written for Blondie, for whom Mike Chapman also produced, but was instead given to Racey as a follow-up to "Lay Your Love on Me".
Richard Gower appeared in the Countdown Spectacular 2 concert series in Australia between late August and early September 2007. He sang 2 songs, "Lay Your Love On Me" and "Some Girls".
18 May 2009 saw the reissue of Racey's "Smash And Grab" album on double CD through 7Ts records (a division of Cherry Red Records in London, UK). This includes the original 1979 album, along with all other recordings made for RAK Records between 1978 and 1982 inclusive.
