I remember when Dave, Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich were formed, because they were in the Daily Mirror for their funny name. The name made them memorable, so it worked in their favour and they had a lot of (quality) hit singles. When it came to evolving from a light-hearted singles group into a serious albums band something counted against them and I can't help feeling the name was a part of this. Manfred Mann had to create another band with a new name and style, twice, and had to forego the hit singles for musical integrity.
I have a soft spot for the British singles bands of the sixties, because I grew up with them, and have compilations of DDDBM&T, Marmalade, Love Affair, Manfred Mann and others.
The Cuff Links (really Ron Dante) are another forgotten band of the sixties. They were very big here for a while.
Tony Burrows is probably not forgotten, but despite success into the mid-seventies, he should have gone on to 'respectability' instead of session harmonies.
