Argent: Liar

For some reason I 've been reminded of this song by the week's political events.

Written by Russ Ballard and released in 1970, Liar was Argent's first single. It was not a hit, but Three Dog Night took it into the US top 10 the following year.

Similarly, when I saw the Zombies play Market Harborough Leisure Centre, Rod Argent was at pains to point out that God Gave Rock and Roll to You, later a big hit for Kiss, was an Argent song first.

Quite why Argent weren't more successful is a bit of a mystery to me, but you can enjoy their two biggest hits elsewhere on this blog:
