    I'd imagine it was Elvis as he had loads of chart toppers in the 50's. But note you say group- Cliff and the Shadows?

    It's not The Beatles, It's not Elvis, and it's not Queen.
    The first 3 singles, was not repeated until Frankie Goes To Hollywood 20 years later.
    So. your looking at the begining of the 60's. Oh and it's not Rolling Stones. okidoke

    Hmmm. My parents only listened to classical music so I'm stymied - how about someone like Freddie and the Dreamers? :oops: DD

    I would say another Liverpool band. Gerry and the Pacemakers? They were one of the more popular groups back then.

    So, its Jerry and the Pacemakers. Which actual songs was it. I'm trying to think of which songs Frankie goes to Hollywood did. Put me out of my misery please.

    Yes well done, it was Gerry And The Pacemakers.
    I think the songs were
    " I like it "
    Youll Never Walk Alone
    and I think " How do you do what you do to me ".
