Overview

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.
