Anyone remember any of these late 70s early 80s tracks?

If I don't go out on Saturday Night I can hear these played (with others on Radio Nostalgie) a popular station in France).

They can be heard late on Saturday night.

http://www.nostalgie.fr/

I don't remember them being hits or hearing them on the radio at the time but perhaps they were popular in nightclubs. I didn't go to nightclubs very often and if they were played in the gay clubs I would not have heard them as I never went in as I not gay. I've nothing against gay people, I've known several over the years and they were all great people.

Thhey may never have had a UK release

Anyway here they are and I will add any other good ones I hear - feel free to add any others

Lime - "Your love" - 1981
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9_qAHnlpdY

Fat Larry's Band - "Act Like You Know" (1982)
I remember Fat Larry's Band but not this song

I know what GTA is but I've never played it!

Sugarhill Gang - "The Lover In You" (1982)
Again, I remember them but not this one

Chemise - "She Can't Love You" (1981)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKoBp...eature=related

Delegation - "Darlin (I Thing About You)" (1979)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLChM...eature=related

"Nostalgie" seem to like Delegation, they also play
"Put a little love on me"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMtHQ...eature=related
and their final CBS release which apparently sold well in France
"It's Your Turn"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caP5Q...eature=related

Destination - "Move on up" (1979
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0pifERkeEQ

France Joli - "Gonna Get Over You" (1981)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elLBEwi9PUE

Surely some of them had a UK release? If they did, it's 30 years ago and I don't have a chart book.

I've heard the Lime and France Joli songs. France Joli is French Canadian and had a big hit in the 1970's called "Come To Me" which is brilliant.

I like French radio stations because there seems to be a wider range of music played and not as repetitive as here. Nostalgie sounds good.

I have that one on a compilation LP issued by CBS Germany in 1979 although the track I really wanted on it was "Bobby Brown" by Frank Zappa - banned by the BBC!

Nostalgie is good and much of the material is in english alongside french hits music from some other countries.
