Kenny were an English pop and glam rock band who had several hit singles in Britain in the mid-1970s, including "The Bump" and "Fancy Pants". ==Career== In 1973, Irish showband singer Tony Kenny, former lead singer with The Sands and The Vampires, recorded a single "Heart of Stone", written by Bill Martin and Phil Coulter and produced by Mickie Most. It was released under the name Kenny, and, after the singer returned to Ireland, the single became a hit in Britain. Most then decided to capitalise on its success by renaming a completely unconnected North London band called Chuff, as Kenny.〔(Allmusic biography )〕 Martin and Coulter wrote the bulk of the successful songs for the group. They had three further records reach the charts in the UK: "Fancy Pants", "Baby I Love You OK", and "Julie Anne".〔 Uncredited lead and background vocals on "The Bump" were performed by Barry Palmer.〔 Kenny were managed by Peter Walsh, a 1960s and 1970s pop entrepreneur whose portfolio also included The Tremeloes, Marmalade, The Troggs and Hot Chocolate. In 1996, former band member Rick Driscoll appeared on the 'Identity Parade', on the BBC Television programme ''Never Mind the Buzzcocks''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kenny (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
