MIKE FURBER AND THE BOWERY BOYS
You Stole My Love (Graham Gouldman) Australia 1966 #8 Melbourne #21 Brisbane #12 Adelaide Single released on both Sunshine and Kommotion labels. The Bowery Boys were formed in Brisbane in 1965. Lead singer Mike Furber (1948-1973) was given top billing after they were signed to Ivan Dayman's Sunshine label and management. After the band broke up in 1966, Mike Furber pursued an under-appreciated solo career, but in the early 70s he appeared to good notices in the gospel rock musical Godspell. This was The Bowery Boys' second single, a Graham Gouldman composition. Their first single was a band original, wrongly credited by some to Gouldman: see Just A Poor Boy Listen to You Stole My Love and other Mike Furber tracks at MPH.
