Cliff Bennett & The Rebel Rousers were the first London band to be signed by the Beatles manager: Brian Epstein.
Their innovative brass sound introduced British youth to Soul Music.
Within three months of Epstein’s management they had their first hit single in the U.K. charts, One Way Love and a tour of Germany with the Beatles.
Cliff crowned his success with the Rebel Rousers in 1966 with a song written exclusively for him by Lennon & McCartney, Got To Get You Into My Life which reached No: 3 in the U.K. charts creating a unique British Soul Sound.
