Fine actors too, were The Shadows:
1963 Summer Holiday — Bachelor Boy
@DyDave I still have the "Bachelor Boy" single (inherited from an older brother).
I genuinely think it's hard to overestimate how big a thing both Cliff and The Shadows, and The Shadows by themselves were in the late 50s and early 60s.
Britain was really struggling then and those guys hit the spot.
