The Bay City Rollers were a Scottish pop/rock band of the '70s with a strong following among teenage girls. The origins of the group go back to the formation of the duo the Longmuir Brothers in the late '60s, consisting of drummer Derek Longmuir and his bass-playing brother Alan They eventually changed their name to Saxon, adding singer Nobby Clarke and John Devine.Then they changed their name again and become The Bay City Rollers.Their first hit was a "Keep on Dancing," which reached number nine in the U.K. in September 1971. In June 1972, guitarist Eric Faulkner joined. In January 1973, singer Leslie McKeown and guitarist Stuart Wood (replaced Clarke and Devine, stabilizing the quintet's lineup. they finally hit the Top Ten again in February 1974 with "Remember" At this point, the Rollers became a teen sensation in Great Britain, with their good looks and tartan knickers, and they scored a series of Top Ten U.K. hits over the next two and a half years: "Shang-a-Lang," "Summerlove Sensation," "All of Me Loves All of You," "Bye Bye Baby" which went number one "Give a Little Love" another number one, "Money Honey," "Love Me Like I Love You," and "I Only Want to Be With You" ( Their albums Rollin', Once Upon a Star, Wouldn't You Like It, and Dedication were also Top Ten successes, with Rollin' and Once Upon a Star getting to number one. They scored their first U.S. hit with "Saturday Night," which was released in September 1975 and hit number one in January 1976. It was followed by the Top Ten hits "Money Honey" and "You Made Me Believe in Magic." The Rollers also had five straight gold albums in the U.S.: Bay City Rollers, Rock 'n' Roll Love Letter, Dedication, It's a Game, and Greatest Hits.Alan Longmuir left the band in June 1976 and was replaced by Ian Mitchell who was in turn replaced by Pat McGlynn in June 1977. Longmuir returned in 1978, the same year that McKeown was replaced by Duncan Faure and Faulkner quit to go solo. But by then the Bay City Rollers had scored their last hits. |
