I cant find it out I might have to concede

Don't know if he was the only white artist they ever signed but a bloke called Johnny Powers was the first white bloke they signed in 1960.

Chris Clark (female) and the "Lewis Sisters" were both white acts signed to Tamla Motown.

(yeh I am that old )

Just remembered "R Dean Taylor " he had two hits ,Gotta see Jane , and Indiana wants Me . He was Canadian and although i've never seen his picture i think he was white .

Does that help ?

Just found his photo on google , he is the White Man you're looking for Taff.

Thanks to you both.

I got R Dean Taylor off my mate but will now shock him with Bobs artists.

By the way my question was

Name the German Bass player partly responsible for the Beatle haircut and the 60's band he was part of.

Thanks again dudes

I thought the german photographer Astrid Kirchner (?) and her boyfriend the then Beatles bass player Stu Sutcliffe were responsible for the "haircut"

by **taff** » Thu Jun 16, 2005 9:44 am

There was another involved

Astrids boyfriend before Stu

Hmmm ? I remember reading an article by Astrid and in it she said . "One day I combed Stuarts hair forward (into the mop top style) the others laughed ,but a few days later they started combing theirs the same way."

She wore it that way plus this guy

He later played session bass with Lennon and Ringo on solo albums

Damn ! sorry Taff , back in the sixties I must have dropped to much acid .(lesson for all you kids out there ) . You must be talking about Klaus Voorman .

:cool:

ps. think he joined Manfred Mann and designed the cover for "Revolver" .

You know the sixties were fu'ckin' great because you can't remember most of them . :buttrock

anyone else seen the film Backbeat, it's all about this chapter of the Beatles history?

great film, Stephen Dorff plays Sutcliffe, some bint plays Astrid. Came out about 10/15 years ago

Well worth a watch if you come across it

by **woof woof !** » Thu Jun 16, 2005 6:51 pm

Available on dvd , a must for all Beatle fans .

(I'm not on commision ........honest :;):

Well done Woof you got it

And yes Backbeat was a great film. I was living in Lark Lane at the time.
In fact Steve Kindred from Cwmbran who now lives in Liverpool has my bacbeat CD, oh well good bloke Steve

On the Ringo Starr solo album called RINGO funnily enough, Klaus plays the fuzz bass on one of the tracks. Im a bass player and was always intrigued by fuzz bass :cool:

Its the album with RINGO in lights and a cartoon Ringo in dubgarees on the cover.

Theres a brilliant Lennon song on it called I am the greatest, worth getting the album just for that song. George and Paul also wrote songs for it, Very underestimated album
