The group's musical line-up incorporates such diverse instruments as mandolins, glockenspiels, accordion, military bass-drum, and the legendary Nickelodeon, an extraordinary instrument designed and built for the purpose of delivering Sailor's definitive sound.
Their first album, released in 1974, included the hit "Traffic Jam". The album achieved Gold status in Holland. But it was the second album "Trouble" that established Sailor throughout the world. "A Glass of Champagne" was a massive hit throughout the world in 1975, followed by "Girls Girls Girls" in 1976.
The original line-up changed regularly from the end of the 1970s. In 1980 Phil and Henry released a new album together with Gavin David and Virginia David. In 1989 a new album was released after a ten year silence, featuring two singles "The Secretary" and "La Cumbia", so after a long gap they went back on tour again. In 1995 Georg Kajanus departed the band to pursue a solo career, leading to the introduction of Peter Lincoln, a respected guitarist and singer. Original member Henry Marsh left the band in late 1999, to be replaced by Anthony England. He was replaced in turn by Rob Alderton in 2001.
In 2004 Sailor were voted the 45th most successful pop band of the last 40 years in Germany.
In July 2005 Rob Alderton departed, but a few weeks later, original member Henry Marsh returned to his place at the Nickelodeon. In 2006 Peter Lincoln decided to leave after ten years to join The Sweet. Afterwards, Henry's son Oliver Marsh joined the band as their new singer to continue the journey...

Girls
Girls
Yellow
red
black or white
add a little bit of moonlight
Shy girl
sexy girl
they all like that fancy world
Champagne
a gentle song and a slow dance.
Who makes it fun to spend your money
Who calls you honey
most every day.
Girls
Girls
Girls - Girls
Girls
Girls.
Well
they made 'em up in HolIywood
and put them into the movil
Those lovely photographic splendours;
In and out of magazines
Miss World and beauty queens
Falling in love with the real big spenders.
But although their world may be frantic
They're still romantic
in their own way.
So hop on
the world is swing.ing.
Don't sit and twiddle your thums.
Get up and meet those pretty Girls
Girls
Girls.
Step on
the world keeps swinging.
Put on the dazzling charm.
Get up and find those pretty girls.
But don't rush
keep it nice and gentle
And sentimental
for that certain moment.
Moonlit oceans
girls full of emotions
Stepping on that slow boat to China;
And next door
in Japan
they know how to please a man
Dropping in for tea with my geisha.
They've got that old-fashioned feeling
When it comes to pleasing
they know their way.
So hop on
the world is swinging
When you draw back the curtain.
Hop on
the world is swinging.
Don't sit and twiddle your thumbs.
Get up and meet those pretty girls.

Could be released just like that without any changes and it would absolutely pass as a brand new song. That's how timeless it is.
