DESCRIPTION:
The Invaders first started off in Uitenhage in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, as the Astronauts in 1961, with Desmond Solomon (guitar), Ike Dolley (vocals), Fozy Lukie (drums), and Richard (Toss) Smith (lead guitarist). In 1962, after the Astronauts broke up, Burke then formed another band comprised of himself (on bass), Errol Gobey (rhythm guitar, vocals), Desmond Solomon (lead guitar), Vernal Solomon (drums) and Ike Dolley (vocals) and called themselves The Invaders. This line-up stayed together for about a year before breaking up. The Invaders reformed in 1963 with John Burke (bass), Errol Gobey (rhythm guitar, vocals), Joe Moses (lead guitar) and Dave Burke (drums).

The Invaders held 'Matinee Sessions' for "the young ones" at the Jubilee and Orient Halls in Uitenhage. Their popularity increased and soon they were performing at various venues in nearby Port Elizabeth, from there going on to record 8 LPs and 28 singles.

This song was released in 1967.
