UK#1(2) from 13 August and US#1(2) from 17 October 1964.

Rock-quintet consisting of four members from Spain and one from Germany. Mike Kennedy leader with a UK#2, 9 weeks in Top 20 from 16 July and US#4, 12 weeks in Top 100 from 13 August 1966 - Big Hit in N.Z.
A group with a UK#1(1), 14 August 1968
Led by Arthur Wilson, Whitby, England born June 1944, the band included drummer Carl Palmer, later of Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Monster Hit in N.Z.
An American pop music singer-songwriter, who was "widely perceived as one of the archetypal bubblegum artists of the late 1960s, with a NZ#1(1), 14 August 1969. In his home country, the song only made it to US#29 (8 weeks in Top 100 from 26 April) and the follow-up to his US#1(4) from 15 March and UK#1, 4 June 1969
US#8, 17 weeks in Top 10 from 17 August 1959. Missouri born in December 1928, a pop - country singer / guitarist who first recorded in 1951 and first charted in August 1956. This was his 4th US chart and a BIG HIT in N.Z.
A trio, comprising brothers, Dean and Marc Mathis with Larry Henley. They got their falsetto sound (of lead Larry Henley) from Dean Mathis pitching to Boudleaux Bryant a Four Seasons style rendition the trio did of Boudleaux's composition 'Bye Bye Love'. Needing a fourth song for their first recording session, they picked up on a recent demo of this song, rearranged it in falsetto style, and was released as the B-side of their first 45 from 15 August 1964 - and that became their only million-seller. HUGE HIT in N.Z. US#2(2) from 19 September 1964, but charted from 15 August - hence my inclusion in Saturday's programme.
And the songs:
Before 1pm - Manfred Mann - Do Wah Diddy Diddy, (first jpeg) already on the Coast playlist as I was reminded when I got in there, so played that just before 1pm.
1pm Los Bravos - Black Is Black, in the Coast system but not played on regular basis as far as I'm aware
2pm The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown - Fire (second jpeg)
3pm Tommy Roe - Heather Honey
4pm Jerry Wallace - Primrose Lane (third jpeg) [originally a mono recording] the version I played was off the Collectables 6035 Primrose Lane, Very Best Of Jerry Wallce CD and was a remake, played slightly faster and was shorter in duration at 2:13 than the original at 2:25.
5pm The Newbeats - Bread And Butter
