Clout - Substitute video

Visit http://www.totallyfuzzy.net/ourtube/ for more great music videos More info on Clout http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clout Clout were originally a five-piece, South African million-selling all-girl rock group formed in 1977, best known for their song "Substitute". "Substitute" was a cover version of an obscure Righteous Brothers' song, composed by Willie Wilson. Clout's version reached number two in the UK singles chart for three weeks in June 1978, and number one in New Zealand, Australia, Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and South Africa. It reached only number sixty-seven in the U.S. for one week in September 1978, but stayed in the Billboard chart for ten weeks altogether. "Substitute" was then recorded by Gloria Gaynor for single release in the U.S., but radio and club D.J.s preferred the B side which became the worldwide hit: "I Will Survive".
