Compilation of the best songs by the band from Manchester. Wayne Fontana, whose real name is Glyn Ellis (pseudonym he took the name of Elvis Presley drummer DJ Fontana), was born in 1943 in Manchester. He was an engineer by phone. In the same city were born and his comrades - the musicians of The Mindbenders, established in 1962. Initially, a group called The Jets and played cover versions of well-known R & B-songs. But soon the guys said record company Fontana - has signed a contract with them and insisted on the name change. And there was Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders. After recording a few very bad, but still not very sophisticated songs, the autumn of 1964, the band released their first big hit - Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um (5th place in the UK charts). A few months later in English TOP-10 rapidly broke song Game Of Love (2nd place in the charts.) However, the group had one problem, which every day becomes sharper and sharper, - the musicians did not have their own material. Not all be Lennon and McCartney, not all to be Rod Argent and Brian Wilson are not all to be Jagger and Richards. No, your own stuff there was, but it was not strong enough. In late 1965 Wayne quarreled with his three friends, saying that began a solo career. It happened this way: in the middle of the concert came to guitarist Wayne Stewart, and told him, pointing to the audience: "They're all yours," then left the stage. The Mindbenders did not panic and immediately released a single Groovy Kind Of Love, who took 2nd place in the charts, and in 1966 the single Ashes To Ashes, caught in the TOP-20. As Wayne tried, immediately repeat their success he failed, however, he failed it and then (only single, 1966 Pamela, Pamela reached 11th place in the charts.) In 1968, the band The Mindbenders announced its dissolution, but were then "Hotlegs", and from them came "10cc".
