The Spotnicks ,
is an instrumental rock group from Sweden, who were formed in 1961. They were famous for wearing “space suit” costumes on stage, and for their innovative electronic guitar sound. They have since released 42 albums, selling more than 18 million records, and still tour.
The Spotnicks originated from “Rock-Teddy and The Blue Caps”, a group formed in 1957 in Gothenburg by guitarist Bo Winberg (born 27 March 1939), with Bo Starander (born 11 March 1942) (rhythm guitar), and Björn Thelin (born 27 June 1942) (bass guitar). In 1958 they added Ove Johansson (drums), changed their name to “The Frazers”, and began playing regularly in local clubs. They signed a recording contract in 1961, and changed their name to “The Spotnicks”, a play on the Russian satellite Sputnik as suggested by their manager, Roland Ferneborg. Starander was later known as Bob Lander.
They soon became the first Swedish group to have significant international success, in a similar style to The Shadows and The Ventures. They toured Europe, and one of their early records, “Orange Blossom Special”, became their first big international hit, making the Top 30 in the UK Singles Chart in 1962 on the Oriole label, and reaching # 1 in Australia. ….Read More

5000 Volts ,
is the name of a British disco recording act which achieved success throughout Europe during the 1970s. The group consisted of vocalists Tina Charles and Martin Jay, with a changing group of session musicians.
They released several singles in the mid 1970s, but did not achieve success until radio stations began playing the B-side to their single, “Bye Love”. The song, “I’m On Fire”, was then released in its own right and became a major hit throughout Europe, peaking at number 4 on the UK Singles Chart;[1] and at number 1 on the German Top100 Singles chart and the Swedish chart. It also charted in the United States where it reached number 26. Though Charles provided the vocals, she was not at the time publicly acknowledged as the group’s singer, and on the band’s 1974 appearance on BBC Television’s Top Of The Pops, singer/actress Luan Peters fronted the group. However, the publicity surrounding the revelation of Charles’ contributions to the group gave her solo career a boost. ….Read More

Alain Barrière ,
est un chanteur français, auteur-compositeur, né le 18 novembre 1935 à La Trinité-sur-Mer, de son vrai nom Alain Bellec. Il naît dans une famille de mareyeurs bretons, obtient un diplôme d’ingénieur des Arts et métiers (promotion Angers 1955, dite « An155 »). Cependant il préfère se tourner vers la chanson.
En 1961, il adopte son pseudonyme et participe au concours du Coq d’or de la chanson française dont la finale se déroule à l’Olympia. Il parvient en finale avec sa chanson Cathy et se classe 11e sur 12. Mais pendant ce concours Bruno Coquatrix le remarque et Alain Barrière signe un contrat avec la maison RCA.
Il vit alors de quelques cachets dans les petites salles parisiennes, avant de se faire un nom en 1963, avec le succès du titre Elle était si jolie, sélectionné pour représenter la France au Concours Eurovision de la chanson où il finit cinquième.
C’est en 1964 qu’il lance son plus grand succès : Ma vie.
Un autre grand succès est Tu t’en vas, interprété en duo avec Noëlle Cordier en 1974. L’année suivante, il fait construire et crée le Stirwen (« étoile blanche » en breton) un théâtre-discothèque-restaurant situé à Carnac, avec une salle de spectacle (amphithéâtre) dans laquelle il donne des concerts chaque été.
En 1977, il quitte la France pour les États-Unis : l’entreprise Stirwen a des difficultés et le chanteur des démêlés avec le fisc. Il revient quatre ans plus tard, mais les deux albums qu’il enregistre n’ont pas le succès escompté. Un second exil le mène au Canada. Il ne revient définitivement qu’au début des années 1990, mais sans renouer véritablement avec la chanson. ….Read More
