| The Seventies and the New Seekers |
What was it like to be a famous pop star in the 1970s? In a radio interview with David Jensen, Lyn Paul said: "It was a very innocent time... You could be walking round Woolworths looking link a dog's dinner, awful, and it would be: 'Oh, is it Lyn Paul?. And some kind soul said: 'Nah, she's better looking than that.' That's about as good as it got for us!" (From The Bottom To The Top, Capital Gold, 20th July 2006)
