about
The Motowns were a British beat group during the second half of the sixties, known in Italy as part of the so-called British invasion. The group was founded in Liverpool by guitarist Douglas Albert Meakin (born March 17, 1945), a school friend of Beatles' drummer Ringo Starr, who in the early sixties played in specialized youth ensembles in Merseysound . The members of the group were: Douglas "Dougie" Meakin on guitar and vocals Harold "Lally" Stott, lead vocal and solo guitar Tony Crowley on the drums Mike "Saint" Logan at the piano Robbie "Little" Scott on the electric bass Arrived in Florence just in the days of a 1966 flood , in which they lost most of their instruments and their amplification system. Disbanded when in 1970 lead singer Lally Stott chose to pursue a solo career, but he died in 1997 in an accident. The other members became session musicians with their own storied backgrounds. They were signed to RCA Italiana, Durium, Carosello, and Cinevox. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
