Anthony Teague. Born Edwin Ardell Teague (January 4, 1940 – June 2, 1989), also known as Scooter Teague, was an American actor and dancer. He appeared as "Big Deal", one of the Jets, in West Side Story (1961). In 1962 Teague recorded his only single, in Decca studios in London. Two teen-pop songs were arranged by Charles BlackwellBritish pianist, composer, music director, one of the most in-demand arrangers in England during the 1960s.

The single was released only in the UK,  recorded in London with a group of British musicians and therefore has been classified to Rare British Pop series.

Tony Wilson. Singer, bassist and songwriter, born 8 October 1947 in Trinidad. Founder member of Hot Chocolate. 

Tony Wilson's debut solo recordings had been released in 1964 on Decca single – he composed both songs.

In 1967 he released two singles, on Columbia, arranged and conducted by Del Newman - prolific British conductor, orchestral arranger and music producer.

In 1969 Tony Wilson recorded one single for Bell, at Kingsway Studio, London. It was Hot Chocolate, but they were signed elsewhere and couldn't release this under their own name, so Tony got it as a solo release. (45cat) 

Phil Brady. Born 4 March 1939, Liverpool. Like many adolescents raised in the south of Liverpool, Brady learned about country music from the seamen returning from the USA. Encouraged by Hank Walters’ Black Cat club, he formed his own band, the Ranchers, in 1962, including Frank Peters on steel guitar, and they built a reputation in the north-west despite the fierce competition from beat music. They were featured on Decca’s 1965 album, Liverpool Goes Country, and Brady recorded the first single (‘An American Sailor At The Cavern’) for the Cavern Club’s own label. Because the Cavern went into liquidation, most copies went to the official receiver.

Phil Brady & The Ranchers

became nationally popular through the BBC programme Country Meets Folk. He went to Nashville in 1968, played Grand Ole Opry, and recorded Songs Of Nashville on his return. They toured the UK with Buck Owens and Slim Whitman, and their instrumental, A Little Bit Country, was recorded at Joe Brown’s studio with Brown on fiddle. The tear-jerking ‘Little Rosa’ is his most requested number, and other popular singles include ‘The Exeter Bypass’ and ‘Let The Whole World Sing It With Me’. Brady now works solo.
