A true rarity here: an instrumental track credited, not to The Pirates but to Johnny Kidd and The Pirates, although there is no vocal. With Johnny's blessing, the Pirates continued to record without him after their lead singer's death.

Popeye JOHNNY KIDD & THE PIRATES
A true rarity here: an instrumental track credited, not to The Pirates but to Johnny Kidd and The Pirates, although there is no vocal. With Johnny's blessing, the Pirates continued to record without him after their lead singer's death.

Brian Hyland's chart successes tended to be in the early Sixties, with hits like "Ginny Come Lately" and "Sealed With a Kiss". So here's a (slightly!) more recent example of his later recordings. A track from his 1969 album, 'Tragedy'.

Seventies band, First Class (or, The First Class) had the one big hit - "Beach Baby". But they recorded a lot of other tracks. I am reliably informed that Tony Burrows takes lead vocal on this one - but I am ready to stand corrected!
Open this video on sunryse111Hey! Baby BRUCE CHANNEL (with lyrics)
A huge hit - and one of my personal favourites - from 1962. It entered the UK charts on 24 March that year and peaked at #2 - the harmonica intro (played by his friend, Delbert McClinton) becoming the inspiration for the Beatles' debut singe, "Love Me Do" l...

My eight-year-old grandson asked me to show him how I make my music videos. This was the next one due to be made, so I gave him a demonstration of my video editing prowess (LOL!). I asked him if he'd ever heard of Elvis Presley, he said "No!" Amazing what t...
