The Bay City Rollers featuring Les McKeowen

After joining the Bay City Rollers in November 1973, the band, with Les McKeown on lead vocals, shot to superstardom almost over night.

Remember, the Rollers' first single with Les' vocals, shot up the UK charts to No. 6 and was quickly followed by Shang-A-Lang, Summerlove Sensation and All Of Me Loves All Of You all hitting the Top Five. Bye Bye Baby was their first UK Number One in May 1975 followed by Give A Little Love in July. Their first US single, Saturday Night, amazingly went straight to the top of the Billboard charts, and their first British album, Rollin’ was the first debut album to top the charts. The Bay City Rollers released many more Top 10 songs over the next two years including Money Honey, I Only Wanna Be With You, and You Made Me Believe In Magic. Between 1975 - 1978, they toured all over the world and played to sold out shows in the USA, Japan, Great Britain, Europe, New Zealand and Australia.
