The Swinging Blue Jeans were originally formed in 1961 by Ray Ennis and Les Braid. After signing with EMI records in 1962, their debut single Its Too Late Now in 1963 crept into the British charts at Number 30. Their next single Hippy Hippy Shake crashed into the Hit Parade and just fell short of the Number 1 slot. Their follow-up release, Good Golly Miss Molly followed suit and their next single Youre No Good reached Number 3 in Britain. They famously engaged in a punch up with the Rolling Stones at the BBC studios during recording of the first Top of the Pops as a result of an argument over a ball point pen for signing autographs.One of Britains good-time bands, they were essential a visual group, and they could never hope to capture the excitement of their live performances on record – a virtue that still applies today. After a good few line-up changes, The Swinging Blue Jeans are still going strong and still wowing audiences.
