Ok...It looks like you're struggling a bit with this one. Here's a clue....The original line-up of the band that this singer was with, was formed in the early '60's.... 8)

Any clues going spare? ;)

Title: Re: How!...Here's a question for ya's!
Post by celebrity on 09/20/06 at 01:24:41

The bside was a bob dylan song,but not one of his better ones, the singer has the same initials as a showband singer of the opposite sex and has the same name as a footballer!

After a mountain of 'research'....I may have the answers. Here goes: Singer - Keith Beattie. Song on b-side could be - 'Maybe Someday'...That was a stinker of a question!! :P
