I thought Wayne Fontana and The Mindbenders were quite underrated. I particularly liked their unusually titled 1964 single “Um, um, um, um, um ,um” and also enjoyed their recording of “Stop, Look and Listen” a catchy early 60s offering.
Your quite right Oztalgian he was troubled soul but was right in there with the 60s music revolution that kicked off in Liverpool with the Fabs. RIP Wayne.
