The Du-Cats were awarded the Stompin’ Tom Award at the 2010 East Coast Music Awards.  The group ventured down to the New England States to record in 1965 and turned down a contract with Smash Records in the 1960s. Still, they were one of the first Newfoundland and Labrador rock bands to make records. Lead guitarist Lew Skinner is still active, playing rock in St. John’s, most recently with a band called Generations.

Playing in the States in the mid 1960s The Du-Cats were paired up with Bill Haley. "Bill Haley, he didn't even have a cent when we met him," said Jim Crewe. "He wasn't making any money. He was going to come to Newfoundland and spend a summer with us.

"We were planning to come back and spend July and August back here. At that time, he wasn't getting any work in the U.S., so he said he'd come down here and we'd play the theatres. I remember how old he was at the time - 39, going on 40. We thought - he's old!"

As their name suggests, the first single "Must I Tell" was influenced by the British Invasion. The song took them into the Canadian Top-20 and peaked at #18).
 
Following the demise of the band, Macfadyen would join the Townsmen. Later, he would team with Daubney and Douglas would form Waterfront Productions; Macfadyen would discover and produce Harlequin and has worked with Joe Hall's Rancho Banano; Douglas would go on to produce John Lennon, Aerosmith, Cheap Trick and The Trews among others; Daubney is currently owner of the Polar Bar ice cream parlour in Unionville, Ontario.

Anthony Peter Hatch b. June 30, 1939 Pinner, UK (currently 82)

Producer Tony Hatch, who later married and produced records by Petula Clark, wrote ‘Sugar & Spice’,  using the pseudonym Fred Nightingale. He wrote Sugar & Spice based on the successful  template of another hit song, Sweets For My Sweet which the Searchers recorded and went to number 1 on the British charts. Apparently, Hatch didn’t want the band to know that he actually wrote those songs, for royalty reasons, and used the Fred Nightingale name credit. The first line of the chorus,"Sugar and spice and all things nice", references the nursery rhyme What Are Little Boys Made Of?, while the following line is the title of the well-known Pete Seeger/ Lee Hays song, "Kisses Sweeter than Wine".

Guy Sobell was a guitarist in a Vancouver band, The Ken Clark Trio, and while in Europe, he had heard music by Swedish group The Spotnicks and the English group The Shadows and decided to form his own band after returning to Canada. At the same time, a 17 year old named Terry Jacks had put together a “surf” band”, The Sand Dwellers. When the Sand Dwellers split up, some of the members re-formed as The Vancouver Playboys which left Terry Jacks without a band. Jacks and Sobell were introduced to two fellow University of British Columbia students, Bill Lockie, a guitar player who was learning to play bass, and Erik Kalaidzis, a singer who played chess with Sobell and The Chessmen were born. They got to record a few songs and Vancouver DJ Red Robinson gave the tape to London Records who released the band's first single - "Meadowlands" - in December 1964. Mercury released the new single, "Love Didn’t Die", in December 1965 and they band closed out the year opening a show for Gary Lewis and The Playboys in Vancouver. Chessmen split up in 1966 but Terry Jacks went on to enjoy several international hits in the 1970s, including the classic Seasons In The Sun with the Poppy Family.

In late 1964, Irish-born guitarist John "Sean" Byrne was sitting in a Health Education class in his freshman year at San Jose City College in California, learning about psychosis and neurosis. His friend Ron Lamb leaned over and whispered: "You know what would be a great name for a song? Psychotic Reaction!". Byrne had been writing a tune in his head that day, and used the title to finish it, with the entire band given writing credit. PR was released as a single two times: on February 1965 with a local success, and on July 1966. The Band were known for wearing Count Dracula-style capes when playing live. They were all teenagers at the time. This was their only hit. They broke up 1969.

Also one hit wonders! This song was released in the US on Kirshner’s Chairman Records. Though the Ran-Dells have been recognized for innovative and pioneering use of a sine wave generator (a first for the pop music genre), the musicians actually responsible for the sine wave tones heard in "Martian Hop" received no credit for the composition. The twelve-second introduction at the beginning of the song is an uncredited sample from the first 30 seconds of "Moon Maid" by Tom Dissevelt and Dick Raaymakers, aka Kid Baltan. It appeared on their experimental album, The Electrosoniks - Electronic Music in 1962, a year before "Martian Hop" was recorded.
