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".
