This track is Avant Garde, it only reached number 40 in the charts in 1964
The key changes are massive and full of musical wit to entertain the humour of anybody who has a sense of humour in tandem with the chime to the sublime:

Johhny Kidd (real name Frederick Heath) and the Pirates were known as Freddie Heath and the Nutters before the record company changed their name. Freddie Heath and the Nutters sounds a great name for a punk band.

One of the problems with the Internet is reading up about stuff and I couldn't help but read more on that story and I wish I hadn't because it's upsetting.
From the little I read, the steering failed on the car and they crossed into the other lane and hit another car and that was it.
They'd been to Nelson to see if they could sort a gig out and on the way back it happened.

I was working upgrading some of the lighting on the wards at Calderstones Hospital in 1972 and one of the bands members who was a patient was singing the Stylistics You are everything all day long.
