In another article the writer states the ' classic lineup featured Leslie McKeown, but he wasn't the first lead singer of the Scottish hitmakers.
Well, that may ne the case but the fact of the matter is he's the only one who really matters when talking about the phenomenon that was The Bay City Rollers in the 70s. He's the only one that matters. That's just the truth of the matter. Les Mckeown was the lead singer when Rollermania erupted first in the UK then worldwide. He was 1 fifth of the Bay City Rollers. He was the lead singer of the only Bay City Rollers that matter when it comes to talking about the massive success of the group. They were mega successful. The were absolutely massive. They were a worldwide phenomenon. They caused Rollermania such as had not been seen since the days of the Beatles. And who were they? The Bay City Rollers were Leslie Richard Mckeown, Eric Faulkner, Stuart Wood or Woody to the fans, Alan Longmuir and Derek Longmuir.. And when people are asked about the Bay City Rollers, it's exactly that line that comes to mind. Those classic 5 ARE The Bay City Rollers. And no amount of regret or jealousy is ever going to change that.
