Sad to read that Ritchie Routledge of The Aztecs & The Cryin' Shames has died in Nashville at 73. Both fabulous parts of the Merseybeat scene

The Cryin' Shames - Wikipedia

Cryin’ Shames turned down Brian Epstein’s managerial offer & were the last hit for legendary Joe Meek, with this haunting track

Are you off your rocker BBQ ?
The former were Australian and never hit the UK or US charts and the latter was a one hit group which was from a cover version .

I am confident that you had never heard of either before seeing some trivial media reference which you just slavishly copied .

You would be far better off writing about the Seagulls playing City for the World Club Championship title .
