Thanks @Cat O'Falk! I've extended the list to all members as it seems impossible to determine who played on what. From your digging I was able to find Roy's full date of birth and death on Ancestry. Also found Kenny Slade's date of birth as per this.

It was my bad. Wrong Shirley Cooklin. Here is the correct one on Ancestry.

1930

GRO will be correct, so must be 1930 after all.

That's half of B completed (please see page 1) and I reckon I'm over 1/10 of the way through over all now. I'm missing key member details for the following: The Bedrocks, a group formed in Leeds comprised of members from the West Indies. Missing bio info for several members. Freddie Bell and the Bellboys, American vocal group, probable that they're all dead but I can't find anything on two members. Boyd Bennett and his Rockets, American group, missing bio info for three members. Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers, Lineups changed consistently so I'm not sure who played on their three records from 64-66 Dave Berry and the Cruisers, I have the names of all the Cruisers, can't find bio info for any of them! From forum discussions I believe most or all of them resided in Sheffield The Big Ben Banjo Band, had an incredible 15 members when they were charting, can't find info for seven of them The Birds, Ronnie Wood & Kim Gardner's original outfit from London. I found a 2015 interview with Ali McKenzie but don't have bio details for him or the other two members Blue Mink, Barry Morgan was the drummer and he died in 2007. I don't have his full DOB and I think his death date could actually just be the date it was announced online. Can't find him in the GRO or Ancestry. Barry not his real name? EDIT: Solved (sort of). According to his Discogs page, Barry was born Jerome Barry Morgan. In the GRO, there is a Jerome Barry Morgan who died in late 2007, but he was born 1931, not 1944 as his birth is widely reported to be. This makes sense as his son Brett (also a drummer) was interviewed in 2005 here and said he was 44 so born 1961 (Barry was 30 when he had his son, if he was born 1944 he would've been 16/17 when he fathered.. unlikely). His son also says he lives in Sussex, and the Jerome Barry Morgan born 1931 died 2007 died in... ding ding ding, Sussex. Must surely be him - understandable that they may have lied about his age when he was in the band for image purposes. Will change to reflect. Any help no matter how trivial appreciated!

I reckon she's most certainly still alive. Her death would go noticed. According to official records, she's a year younger than her IMDb age, so 89, not 90.

Three more names I've come across: Petro Dode b. 1924, Chairman of the Assembly of Albania (1987–1991) Pirro Kondi b. 1924, former MP and political prisoner Foto Cami b. 1925, former Member of the Politiburo of the Labour Party

Carsten Bresch, German geneticist, dead at 98. EDIT: Confirmation

Done a big chunk of B now. I'm missing some bio details for several of the members in the following 3 groups: B. Bumble and the Stingers Bar-Kays Chris Barber's Jazz Band Any help appreciated.

Well that first one was an absolute ballache. Took me ages to piece together the info. Found Anderson's FB page... wonder if I should contact him or not to complete the info?

Died in 1981.

Sir Lenox Hewitt, Australian public servant, dead at 102. Also the father of Patricia Hewitt, 71, former British Health Secretary (2005–2007) and Labour MP (1997–2010).

If you want to fork out £10,000 for a jukebox from Sound Leisure, it has every chart hit on there and you can browse by time. Otherwise, no. Sorry

@YoungWillz Thanks! I've updated the info for Bobby Angelo and The Tuxedos! Cerberus & Clorox Bleachman - Thank you, I will refer to these if I get stuck in case there are any names on your list I can't find elsewhere. Thats's A completed! I nearly lost the will to live listening to all of those Winifred Atwell records in the background as I was adding them. My late gran was very fond of her. My mum, not so much, who would refer to her as "that fucking woman with that fucking piano". Kind of see her point... EDIT: Another stumbling point - The Avons. If anyone can find full birth details and their fates (I'm unsure if they're all still about), please do say!

Rate Your Music has a personnel list for their 1961 album, which includes Pasadena, Hard Hearted Hannah and Chili Bom Bom as tracks. They include "Canon" Colin Bowles as a pianist for this. The National Portrait Gallery lists the credits for Charleston, with a lineup that matches except the addition of tuba player Clifford Bevan and minus Bowles on piano. NB2: As far as I can see Bevan, Howard and Gieves-Watson are all still alive. This is useful. Unsure about the rest. This obit for a Colin Bowles in 2019 was featured in the same paper that regularly gives press coverage to the band. Could it be him? NB3: Found a newspaper clipping from 2001 that refers to Bowles as "the late", a book that said he was dead before 1995, and this says he died in 1988. Good enough for me!

This link mentions that Perry, the Barrett brothers, Adams and Lewis went on a UK tour to promote the hit, and this forum conversation explicitly states that the latter four were previously known as "The Hippy Boys" and were recruited for the tour. This site specifically credits Bennett, Jackson and Malcolm for recording on the hit, and other sites state Perry contributed. So safe to assume that at this early stage of their existence there was a studio band and a touring group / Hugh Malcolm is often referred to as a "legend" online. He's so much of a legend that I can't find any bio details, though he is often referred to in the past tense.

NB2: Marion Gay (real name Marion Snelling, then Marion Madden) still living 6 years ago as per top comment here. Can't find anything else though. NB3: Mel Todd the folk singer released a record in 1958. The chap in the photo is the same one featured in several pictures of the Sammes Singers. That 45cat page has a picture of the sleeve which says "born 25 years ago" so gives us c. 1933. NB4: Is Valerie Bain the same person as Valerie Taylor from The Coronets? Possibly. NB5: Bain is still alive, based in Eastbourne as of 2020, whereas Todd and Gilmour both died years ago, according to Gay's daughter.

it's likely that most, if not all of the above featured on at least one record giving the longevity they all had in the group. NB2: This article mentions that June Marlow's real name is Jean Moulder and that she married Peter Van Dike in 1950. Ancestry reveals she was born in Plymouth, Devon in early 1931 as Jean C. Moulder. As of 2010 she was still living in Plymouth and the GRO up until 2019 records no death record so she must still be alive. NB3: Some confusion over David Carey. Second Hand Songs says he was born in 1914 and died in 1999. This is wrong though as the obit above from The Argus proves he died in 2015. NB4: Bob Brown was born in Sheffield 1919 according to this. He started out as a trumpet player, then became and vocalist, before becoming the Head of Production at Radio Luxembourg.

Hit that into Ancestry and you get all the details listed above of a Connecticut man who seems to be him. However, other sources claim that Vinny Lee was Vinnie Bell Lee (born Vincent Gambella), a session guitarist from New York City, who died in 2019 (he has a Wiki page also). Either way he is dead but interesting that there is a big mix up / Here's a clip of Lane performing the hit in 2012. Both her and her brother live in Florida now according to both Facebook and public records on Ancestry. NB2: Solved. There is a comment here from Russ Cook, a later addition to the lineup of the group. He says he was a replacement for Vinnie after he died. He could not confirm however if Eugene Moore was still alive or deceased. NB3: The Dead Rock Stars Club lists Eugene Moore as having died in 1990 but records a birth of 1948, which would have made him about 12 when he recorded on the hit – nonsense.

Also, this site seems to have confused him with Lewis and reported him dead. I am going to list Hammond and King as living until I find something concrete to confirm they've passed.

It says that she was 24 in February 1956 so born circa 1931 (also mentions Manchester as place of birth). The only other lead I can find online is here, where a nephew refers to her as if she is deceased. NB2: This article says she was 27 in Feb 1960, so born circa 1932? It says she married record exec Geoff Baker in Scotland in 1956. I've found the record – they were married in 1955; Eileen Theresa Taylor and Herbert Geoffrey Baker. He was born in 1927 and died in 1973. They had 2 children by Feb 1960 – Stephanie (b. 1957) and Tina (b. 1959). NB3: Using the above details of her spouse, I found her Ancestry and it seems that she was born in 1925, so yet another artist who cut a few years off her age probably at the suggestion of the record companies!

All of their birth details are listed on Wikipedia, except they're not. The record label perhaps put out false date of births for them to appeal to younger audiences. I've been able to find Lucas, Felix and Blanche on both Ancestry and the GRO. The full names, places of birth and birthdays (with the exception of Blanche's being muddled on Wiki from 06 Jan to 01 Jun) are all correct, but the years are not. Lucas is the most exaggerated – it was says he was born 20 Sep 1936, when in reality he was born 20 Sep 1928. NB2: Watson later moved to Spain according to comments on YouTube.
