Not talkin' 'bout religion, no - not talkin' 'bout fashion, no

Thursday music corner: The Dynamic Hepnotics were an Australian soul band formed by "Continental" Robert Susz in Sydney in 1979. Although the band released only one album, 1985's Take You Higher, they achieved considerable chart success with their most memorable single, Soul Kind of Feeling. Written by Susz and appearing as the final track on Take You Higher, the exuberant soul single reached number five in the Australian pop charts in 1984, driven in particular by Susz's dramatic falsetto vocals, and popularised further by numerous appearances in the soap Neighbours. The song charted even higher in New Zealand, reaching number three in March 1985. 

The band had one other Australian charting single, Gotta Be Wrong (Way to Love), which reached number 20 later in 1984. The band split in 1986, but reunited for two music festival shows in 2015.
