A Scottish pop band who took the Bay City part of their name from a Michigan town, split up in 1981 but have had brief revivals. Les McKeown was the lead singer back when they had their big hit "Saturday Night." He left the group in 1978.

I remember our next door neighbor in Round Lake Beach was a huge fan of the group. She had to have worn out a couple albums and 45s.

I was too young for the original Cowsills, but definitely remember the Bay City Rollers and how big they were for a brief period - rivaling the Beatles at one stage. (Also see the Knack.) I didn't see it, but the "Saturday Night" song actually was played by the Rollers on "Saturday Night Live" - only it was Howard Cosell's Saturday Night Live, not Lorne Michaels'.
