Les McKeown
Leslie Richard McKeown was a Scottish singer, best known as the lead vocalist of the pop rock band Bay City Rollers during their most successful period in the 1970s. The band's original lead singer, Gordon "Nobby" Clark, decided to leave the band in 1972 just as the band achieved considerable commercial success with their latest single release "Remember (Sha-La-La-La)", something which their manager, Tam Paton, would change Clark's mind. However, Clark decided to leave the band after fulfilling his touring obligations and McKeown joined the band as their lead vocalist by 1973 and began to re-record his vocals on tracks including "Remember (Sha-La-La-La)" and "Saturday Night".
