“The Legend Of Xanadu” #1 UK

This week’s UK #1 record barely “bubbled under” in America for a group with one of the longest names ever - Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich. Yeah, that was the band’s name, consisting of their nicknames. Dave Dee (David Harman) was once a policeman and worked the crash scene in which early rocker Eddie Cochran died and Gene Vincent was badly injured. The single featured a mariachi trumpet section and a cracking whip. Ooooo-kay. Video is from Britain’s “Top Of The Pops.”
