The “Major” was a man of many talents and could pack a punch out on the stage, in a recording studio, where he was always in his element performing and recording Northern Soul and [...]

These guys -- late 70s Aussie band The Sports -- should have been contenders. At least that's the conclusion I've drawn after seeing this clip for "Who Listens to the Radio?" .
