More Information About Scottish Pop-Rockers Bay City Rollers
Description
The origins of the Bay City Rollers 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 by pointing at random to a spot on a map of the United States: Bay City, MI. Their first hit was a cover of the Gentrys' "Keep on Dancing," which reached #9 in the U.K. in 1971. In 1972, guitarist Eric Faulkner joined, and in 1973, singer Leslie McKeown and guitarist Stuart Wood replaced Clarke and Devine, stabilizing the quintet's lineup.
After flopping with three singles, they finally hit the Top 10 again in 1974 with a cover of the Shangri-Las' "Remember (Walking in the Sand)." They scored a series of Top 10 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" (a cover of the Four Seasons hit that went to #1), "Give a Little Love" (another #1), "Money Honey," "Love Me Like I Love You" and "I Only Want to Be With You" (a cover of the Dusty Springfield hit). Their albums Rollin', Once Upon a Star, Wouldn't You Like It and Dedication were also Top 10 successes, with Rollin' and Once Upon a Star getting to #1. They scored their first U.S. hit with "Saturday Night," which was released in September 1975 and hit #1 in 1976. It was followed by the Top 10 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 1976 and was replaced by Ian Mitchell, who was in turn replaced by Pat McGlynn in 1977. Longmuir returned in 1978, the same year that McKeown was replaced by Duncan Faure and Faulkner quit to go solo. --All Music Guide
