Yes welcome Margaret let this be the first of many posts,our friends in US will be morefamiliar with Marcie Balaine's version of Bobby's Girl. Susan Maughan made a lasting career out that one hit song in UK.

Thanks Roy, I knew that I was young, I was 5 years old. I don't think I've heard that original version since then.
I was teased with "Bobby's Girl" when I was a kid

The pix of John Lennon getting an autograph from Billy Fury always cracked me up.

(Tuesday, 10 May 1960, Wyvern Social Club - The Silver Beatles audition to be Fury's backup band for the upcoming Larry Parnes tour. The lads were offered the job if they would get rid of Stu who clearly couldn't play. Lennon refused.)

Obviously Stu couldn't hide his lack of ability on bass. Given that this was a couple of months BEFORE their first trip to Hamburg I would guess that the group's reputation at the time of being a bit of a joke was probably well deserved. But dig them crazy shoes!

How about the white trim around the rear pockets of his trousers? Kinda matches those cool shoes.

Teen Idols - How about Dion??? And Ricky Nelson??? These guys tried to shed their lightweight image with AM&J and Garden Party in the late sixties while others were content to do the oldies circuit. Even the King searched for 60s relevance with In the Ghetto.
