With their tartan scarves and
flared trousers, Scottish pop sensations Bay City Rollers were the boy band of
their day, scoring a string of huge hits and causing mass hysteria wherever
they played. Formed in Edinburgh by brothers Alan and Derek Longmuir, the band made
it to number 9 with a cover of The Gentry's “Keep on Dancing” in 1971,
but really started to take off when front man Les McKeown joined two years
later. The albums Rollin' (1974) and Once Upon a Star (1974) both
topped the UK charts, while singles “Remember (Sha La La La)”, “Shang-a-Lang”,
“Summerlove Sensation”, and “All of Me Loves All of You” all made
the Top 10. Roller-mania hit its height in 1975 as their great signature hit “Bye,
Bye, Baby” and “Give a Little Love” both hit Number 1 and the
Rollers even broke into the US charts with the singles “Saturday Night”
and “Money Honey”. However, as the decade went on their fame waned and
they split in 1981 after failing to generate much attention by becoming The
Rollers and switching to the popular new-wave style of the times. There would
be a smattering of reunion shows in the 2010s. Alan Longmuir died on July 2,
2018. Les McKeown passed away April 20, 2021.
