were Australia's most popular pop group of the 70s with 20 consecutive
hit records and 17 album, accounting for 10 platinum and 14 gold disc
awards.
In 1969 the Sydney entertainment scene was almost totally
geared towards satisfying the money-rich comfort-starved American
Vietnam troops who came for official Rest And Recreation. Sydney's
nightclubs gave them what they wanted - r&b, soul, funk, good-time
rock - and these influences spilled over into the pop group Sherbet,
formed without singer Daryl Braithwaite, but completed by his
falsetto-capable vocals. They were the archetypical 70s girl fodder pop
band - groomed hair, colorful satin stage outfits.
In July 1976 the
group's eighth national top ten hit "Howzat" became their first number
one, ending Abba's record breaking fourteen week at the top with
"Fernando." Sherbet's
album of the same name as the hit also made number one, also replacing
Abba. The "Howzat" single was released in England where it made Top 10,
was a hit in several countries in Europe and South East Asia, and also
received extensive airplay across America. Sherbet
now set their sights on conquering the rest of the world. In June 1978
they recorded their seventh studio album in Los Angeles. At the
insistence of RSO Records Sherbet changed their name to Highway. They wanted to be seen as serious about their music and Sherbet
was considered too frivolous and poppy a name. In Australia they only
released one single as Highway, preferring to shorted their name to The
Sherbs.
