Dead End Kids: a late attempt at the Bay City Rollers without the tartan.

The lead singer looks like Roger Daltry but without the talent or money.

Were they related to the Bay City Rollers. That lead singer looked a lot like Les McKeowen.

Smokie's songs all sounded the same after a while.

It's not the same when a Barbara Dickson song is not followed by Ronnie Corbett's monologue

Wasn't there an Auf Weidershen Pet connection?
You're thinking of Gary Holton, who was the lead singer of the Heavy Metal Kids and was Wayne in Auf Wiedersein Pet.

Blimey, another single I owned! I remember listening to the intro of this on my then new hi-fi, it sounded great in stereo! The music went from one speaker to the other then back again!

It's still an excellent song!

In August 1977, I was in hospital with a broken leg when Elvis died. I was still there a fortnight later when Marc Bolan died.

Ah, Marc's final TOTP's. It only reached No.42. Way below par though.
