I did do some Googling recently as he fell off radar in recent years and I did wonder if he had died without coverage.

The different spelling in surname came about as a result of a misprint on a Parlophone single release. Some sources online give a year of birth of 1930 or 1933 but the birth records confirm he was born in 1931. Updated for the death of Proctor and added a note. Fenton, McCarthy and Powell are likely deceased(?) so I assume Proctor was the last living member of this act. Genuinely surprised he died off radar. He was quite a renowned guitarist during his era. Still bloody waiting on a single news source covering the death of Joey Ambrose from Bill Haley and his Comets before updating their section (every member is dead now).

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. Updated for the death of Lee "Scratch" Perry.
