Driver’s Seat - Sniff ’n’ the tears (1978)

“Driver’s Seat“ is a 1978 song by the British band Sniff ’n’ the Tears that appears on their debut album, Fickle Heart. The band is considered a one-hit wonder as “Driver’s Seat“ was their only hit. The genesis of the song dates back to 1973 and a demo tape recorded for a French record label by singer/guitarist Paul Roberts for the band Ashes of Moon. However, that band broke up and, at the suggestion of drummer Luigi Salvoni, Roberts re-formed it as Sniff ’n’ the Tears with guitarists Laurence “Loz“ Netto and Mick Dyche and bassist Nick South. They shopped the demo tape and signed with the small Chiswick label in 1977. Keith Miller played the Moog solo and also toured America with the band
