April Sun in Cuba

Dragon

Synopsis

Dragon's 'April Sun in Cuba' (from 1977's Running Free) was originally released in Australia where it charted at number two. We loved to hear Marc Hunter talking about missile love here too: in 1978, the song, by Hunter and Paul Hewson, hit number nine - it's also No. 10 on the APRA Top 100 NZ Songs list. This Aussie-made video, complete with footage of missiles, has them in full big-hair rock star mode, with a white-suited Marc Hunter getting in some high kicks while bassist brother Todd Hunter maintains his cool from behind his sunnies.

I was 8yrs old when I was listening to this in NZ. The first song I played on my iPod while on the beach in Cuba in '09 ... "Come on Take me!"
