Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley began their songwriting journey with the Yellow Dance in 1954, but their impact truly began in the 1960s with a string of hits.
After discovering the Sheratons, who would become the Honeycombs, their song 'Have I the Right?' predicted to be a No 1 hit, epitomized a definitive era in British pop.
Despite becoming managers, which they initially disliked, Howard and Blaikley successfully managed acts like Dave Dee and the Bostons, leading to numerous chart-topping hits.
Their creative process revolved around infusing distinct personalities into their bands, promoting the idea that pop groups could have individual character rather than be seen as collectives.
