The most popular years for the Bay City Rollers were in the mid 1970s, after getting its start in 1966. The band's original lineup consisted of Alan Longmuir (bass), Derek Longmuir (drums), Gordon Clark (singer) under the name The Saxons. It was not long after that the group decided to change its name to the Bay City Rollers.

In the early days, the band singed with Bell Records and released the Bay City Roller's first hit song, Keep On Dancing. It was a cover of a song by The Gentrys. The cover was a hit and enabled the band to play on BBC One's show, Top of the Pops. There were a number of singles released that did not garner much attention until the song Remember (Sha La La La) was released. It was an instant hit and topped the charts in the United Kingdom. At this point, the lineup consisted of Alan Longmuir, Derek Longmuir, Stuart Woody Wood, Eric Faulkner and Les McKeown. After the band released the song, Remember, the Bay City Rollers blew up across the United Kingdom and proceeded to release a number of successful hit songs.

By the mid 1970s, the Bay City Rollers had become one of the highest grossing acts in the United Kingdom. It was not until 1976 that the band made its mark in North America after the efforts of Arista Records executive, Clive Davis. It is thought that his guidance helped the band to breakout in North America. The band's song Saturday Night reached the number 1 slot on the US Billboard Hot 100. The next hit was entitled, Money Honey, and it came in at number 9 in the United States and number 1 in Canada. From that point, the Bay City Rollers were releasing hit albums in both its home country and abroad.

The success was not without its difficulty, as it placed some strains on members of the band leading to a shakeup in the lineup. It continued to release chart toppers, but eventual the split with the singer and the manager to reform under the moniker, The Rollers. The new lead vocalist was Duncan Faure. He also wrote songs and played guitar. The Rollers created three albums with the new lineup, but eventually stopped touring in 1981. There were future shows in which the classic lineup performed, and in some cases without one of the Longmuir brothers. All in all, the BBC has suggested that the Bay City Rollers has sold 70 million records.

'Bay City Rollers Trivia'

'While the band originally called itself The Saxons, it changed its name to the Bay City Rollers after deciding to randomly throw a dart at a map of the United States of America to see where it landed. When it landed near the city of Bay City, Michigan, a new name was formed. The band was initially under the management of a former big band leader, Tam Paton, who helped get the band on its feet. Over the years, the lineup changed and even changed names for periods of time without Gordon Clark as the singer. At one point, there was a legal dispute regarding the use of classic lineup when promoting shows, after the band broke out and managed to become an international sensation and subsequently dissolve.'
