Yeah, I know of Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas. Little Children is probably their most famous hit.

Billy has recently released a new single, Go On Girl.

Little Children was the first single I ever bought rushed home one Saturday morning from the Record shop on Reddish Lane and played it on our PYE Stereogram
Think the B side was called They Remind Me Of You might check later it’s in the attic somewhere

I had older brothers who bought records by 50s rock and rollers like Elvis, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Jerry Lee Lewis etc.
Still love that stuff.

One of my earliest memories is going to the dogs home in Manchester somewhere to get a new dog after ours was killed by a car.
We were in my Dad's green Austin A40, it had a radio and I remember Frank Ifields song I Remember You playing. (Who remembers that).
It was raining heavily as well.

When Frank died, and I told Mrs Vienna, quick as a flash, she said, "I remember him".
