The Shadows were a British instrumental rock group and a Cliff Richard's backing band, with 69 UK chart singles to their credit. They were all members of various skiffle groups till they merged and got into guitar based surf music in the late 1950s. In those days star performers usually used stage names:  Brian Rankin became Hank B. Marvin, Terrence Harris became Jet Harris and Bruce Cripps became Bruce Welch.

Put together by Tom Goodings (aka Tommy Graham) in 1963, the band were initially the back up band for Harrow, Ontario vocalist Shirley Matthews. They went to New York where they recorded her best-selling single, 'Big Town Boy', thus taking on that name. They lasted until 1968, changing their name somewhat to BTB-4 for a while. Graham stayed associated with music after that mostly as a record producer.

They were one of the opening acts for The Beachboys, Toronto, February 21, 1965 MLG

Frank J Wilson: b. December 11, 1941 – d. October 4, 1991 (aged 49) Lufkin, Tx
NOT the one known as the Chief of the United States Secret Service

Last Kiss reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.
The song was originally recorded by its composer, Wayne Cochran, in 1961 but didn’t go anywhere. The band worked all afternoon on the song, recording it over and over, with few pauses, for three straight hours, until Roush was satisfied, with take number 64. It’s been recorded by Pearl Jam and several other artists including Canadian band Wednesday.

While driving in Ohio later that year, manager Sonley Roush fell asleep at the wheel, and they collided head-on with another vehicle. Roush was killed and Wilson injured to the extent that he was on crutches for the American Bandstand performance of the song a short time later. Wilson died at the age of 49, from alcoholism and diabetes.

45 single bw Poor Me: Parlophone Records 4623

Produced by John Burgess 1960
Recorded at EMI Studios, London, December 1959

Adam Faith aka Terence "Terry" Nelhams-Wright (b. 23 June 1940 - d. 8 March 2003)

First became known in UK for his Elvis / Buddy Holly type hiccupping stops and exaggerated pronunciation singing with and managing a skiffle group called The Worried Men. His solo career took a while to develop as
his recordings all flopped. However, he started doing television which made him quite popular. The Reason was the B side of Poor Me (which was criticized for being too similar to Buddy Holly’s song Heartbeat).

Eventually Faith had become an investor and financial adviser writing for the Daily Mail. He died of heart attack at Stoke-On-Trent after a performance there

Curtis joined The Ramong Sound after hearing from his uncle that Raymond Morrison, the lead singer of the group, was looking for backing singers. After losing their original lead singer, the band recruited Arthur Brown temporarily, and went through a few name changes before they became The Foundations and emerged in January 1967 with Curtis as their lead vocalist. They would go on to have worldwide hits with "Baby Now That I've Found You" and "Build Me Up Buttercup". Curtis stayed on the music scene for the rest of his life, mostly doing re-union gigs.

Mostly active in the 1970s and early 80s, he is considered a pioneer of commercial electronic music. He played in various bands, including Mean Street and The Lasers, before forming Tubeway Army. He picked the surname "Numan" from an advert in the Yellow Pages for a plumber whose surname was "Neumann". He became known for his android stage look which came about because of an appearance on BBC TVs “Top of the Pops”. He broke out with acne before the show due to being nervous and wore so much make-up to cover the spots that it became his look.

Beggars Banquet is a British independent record label that began as a chain of record shops that has nothing to do with The Rolling Stones.

David Peel (born David Michael Rosario NYC August 1, 1943 - d April 6, 2017 NYC)

In 1968, Peel was contracted by Elektra Records. His 1st album Have a Marijuana peaked at 186 on the Billboard Charts. Since Peel was basically a street performer at the time, it was actually recorded live in the streets. His second album, The American Revolution, was recorded in a recording studio. His raw, acoustic "street rock" with lyrics about marijuana and "bad cops" appealed mostly to hippies

Peel was rediscovered by John Lennon in 1971. Lennon befriended Peel when David was playing with his hippie band in New York's Washington Square in Greenwich Village saying of the folk singer:

"He can't sing, or he can’t really play. Picasso spent 40 years trying to get as simple as that."

Lennon signed Peel to Apple Records and actually produced Peels album “The Pope Smokes Dope”. This album was banned in many countries and since has been sought after by collectors worldwide.

John and Yoko perform (washtub bass and Indian hand drum) with Peel and The Lower East Side on the David Frost Show on December 16 1971 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThUkPscsUEU

Violinist Chris McKhool was putting out some pretty interesting solo albums in the early 2000s when he met up with flamenco jazz guitarist Kevin Laliberté and that’s when everything began to click. Fusing their wild sounds with world music, they formed the basis of the Sultans of String. Since then they’ve released several well received albums that have generated a lot of interest. What a treat to finally hear them on vinyl!! It’s a totally different experience. Ten Years of Music is a compilation album of earlier works but it sure works to my liking.
