THE ROCKIN' BERRIES
Records are not for sale - For your viewing pleasure only
The Rockin' Berries were a beat group from Birmingham, England, formed in 1961, when guitarist Chuck Botfield was performing with the Bobcats, a Birmingham band, at the Star-Club in Hamburg. Despite of a number 5 in the Brittish charts with "He's in Town", the Rockin' Berries could make no inroads on the lucrative U.S. market. Much of their recordings were at the lighter edge of the British beat music boom. Their popular music was carefully composed by British and American songwriters. The Rockin' Berries themselves wrote virtually none of their own material. They covered The Shirelles "I Didn't Mean to Hurt You" and "Poor Man's Son" of The Reflections. Also their biggest hit "He's in Town" was written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King for The Tokens. Turton left the band in 1968 for a solo career as Jefferson. He entered the American Billboard Hot 100 with "Baby Take Me in Your Arms". The Rockin' Berries continue to perform in cabaret as a music/comedy acts.
