Jimmy O' Neil's sign off("No matter what anyone says, rock on!") may not be one of the most memorable, but in case any one doesn' t realize, or forgot, rock and roll still wasn't quite mainstream yet. The "old guard" was still heard on top 40 radio and they, and some of the younger,. clean cut entertainers of the day were still the mouthpieces.
For my taste, most of this series of posts had the least of the British Beat Boom, except maybe Herman's Hermits. Most of their hits, if not most of their singles, have held up since back in the day. I was aware of a few other Freddie et. al. singles, but hearing them, there's a pretty good reason we don't hear much of them .Part of the process of separating the wheat from the chaff in the long run.
Bill Wyman always held and played Bass like that!
