Huge in Canada. Loved these guys. Frontman John Kay (born Joachim Fritz Krauledat in Tilsit Germany). Bio: (source wikipedia)

In early 1945, Kay's mother fled with him from the advancing Soviet troops during the evacuation of East Prussia in harsh winter conditions. In 1949, they crossed the already-fortified border to resettle in Hanover, West Germany. Lliving in the British occupation zone, the young Joachim, who had eye problems and could not speak or understand English, was first inspired by and learned about rock 'n' roll music while listening to Little Richard on U.S. Armed Forces radio. When his family moved to Toronto in 1958, teachers had a hard time pronouncing his birth name, so he was called John K instead. Five years later, they moved to Buffalo, New York.
