{"title":"Mac and Katie Kissoon","description":"\u003cp\u003eMac and Katie Kissoon are a British sibling duo known for their pop music in the 1970s. Born in Trinidad and moving to the UK in their early years, their style blends pop with elements of soul and calypso, reflecting their diverse cultural background. The duo is best known for their hit song \"Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep,\" which topped the charts in 1971. Despite their relatively short-lived success, Mac and Katie Kissoon's distinctive harmonies and vibrant style left a lasting impression on the 70s pop scene.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"chirpy-chirpy-cheep-cheep-walking-around-2","title":"Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep\/ Walking Around","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy with a drillhole, in its original ABC\/Dunhill factory sleeve. Man, I had forgotten how good this one is, even though I had previously marked it to be recorded. In truth, this is only the third original 1971 pressing I've ever owned. If you love Bubblegum Rock, you'll feel right at home here... I guarantee! According to Joel Whitburn's Record Research books, the Kissoons were a sister-and-brother act born in Trinidad (that explains the odd, loping rhythm on the interesting B side track). The siblings moved to England in the late 1950s, when they were in their teens. This song was not a hit in the U.K., where a different version by Scottish group Middle of the Road was a chart-topper and the Kissoon version was dismissed as, which it was, Bubblegum. (That put-down only works if it's true that no one in the world should\/could\/would love Bubblegum Rock. Since that isn't true, such an insult only makes the \"insulter\" look dumb.) The duo did have a few U.K. hits in the mid-1970s. (This is their only U.S. chart single.) Collector Nerd Alert: The song was re-released on ABC in 1974, apparently, but on a different catalog number.  Note: This beautiful copy has Mint vinyl and audio.
