UK Number 40s: Peoples Choice - Jam Jam Jam (1978)


Peoples Choice were one of the acts on Philadelphia records. This was their 2nd and final UK Top 40 hit. Their first was "Do It Any Way You Wanna" which is the better known of the 2, but that only made number 36 in 1976.

This record was already 2 years old before it became a hit in the UK. It was on their "We Got the Rhythm" album from 1976. However, the UK was the only country where this record charted as a single.

It was written by label owner and songwriter Leon Huff alongside band member Frank Brunson. This would be the 2nd number 40 for Leon Huff having had one a few years earlier with "Long Lost Lover" by the Three Degrees.

The band continued until 1985 with Frank Brunson and drummer David Thompson the only constant members. Frank Brunson died in 2007.
