The Bay City Rollers were a Scottish pop band of the 1970s. Their youthful, clean-cut image, distinct styling featuring tartan-trimmed outfits, and cheery, sing-along pop hits helped the group become among the most popular musical acts of their time. For a relatively brief but fervent period (nicknamed “Rollermania”), they were a worldwide sensation. As the group’s popularity swelled to superstardom in the UK, a concerted effort was made by Arista Records (the record company that evolved from Bell) to launch the Rollers in America. New Arista head Clive Davis was instrumental in grooming and overseeing the project. His work paid off as in early ’76, the Rollers reached #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 with “Saturday Night”, the song which had missed the UK chart completely two years earlier. A second US hit came with “Money Honey” which hit #9, and finally reaching a lackluster 62 with a cover version of Dusty’s love power. Prior to that, they made their American TV debut on Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell singing Saturday Night. Must be 18+ Get your tickets NOW!
