With ten consecutive Top Tens in 5 years,
The Bay City Rollers entered the UK charts in 71.
Their first hit reaching No.9 on the Bell label
was ‘Keep On Dancing’ – and so their magic begun.
Four more Top Ten hits followed in 74 –
at No.6 was ‘Remember (Sha-la-la)’, and ‘Shang-a-lang’ at No.2.
Next came ‘Summerlove Sensation’ at No.3,
and at No.4 – ‘All Of Me Loves All Of You’.
Three more Top Ten singles came in 75 –
the first two, both gold selling No.1 hits.
‘Bye Bye Baby’ and ‘Give A Little Love’ –
followed by ‘Money Honey’ – thrilling fans to bits.
In 76, still on the Bell label,
at No.4 was ‘Love Me Like I Love You’,
and ‘I Only Wanna Be With You’, also a No.4
for this group, who no wrong could do.
In 77, now on the Arista label,
making No.16 was ‘It’s A Game’
and at No.34 ‘You Made Me Believe In Magic’,
so apt, as their last chart entry claim.
This Scottish Band loved by so many –
founded by brothers Alan & Derek Longmuir,
won every teenage heart in the 70s,
with their music so wonderfully pure.
Thank You For The Music
