List of best-selling music artists: Encyclopedia II - Sonny and Cher - History

Sonny and Cher's biggest hit, "I Got You Babe", hit the #1 spot in July 1965. Drumming on it, as he did on so many of the hits in classic rock era, was master session drummer Hal Blaine.

List of best-selling music artists: Encyclopedia II - Bay City Rollers - History

It was in Edinburgh that they were discovered by potato merchant's son Tam Paton, who became their manager. The band members have said they chose their band's name by throwing a dart at a map of the United States. The dart landed on the map near the community of Bay City, Michigan. The group went through many line up changes (and non-charting singles) between 1971 and 1974. Their Scottish identity was a major factor in their marketing, and they were one of few groups whose fans had a completely distinctive style of dress, the main ele ...
