Original Bay City Rollers frontman Nobby Clark has vowed to recover decades’ worth of royalties – claiming it was his voice on the band’s biggest US hit. For almost a decade, Gordon 'Nobby' Clark was the voice of the Edinburgh band before being replaced by Les McKeown, who died in 2021.
Now, speaking out before a bombshell documentary on the band, Nobby claims it was HIS voice on the single that broke the band in the US – Saturday Night. He also says he was conned out of cash by notorious Rollers manager Tam Paton, who is also now dead.
Nobby said: “When the band filed a motion to have me dismissed from the 2011 court case in New York against Arista/Sony for unpaid royalties, they forced me out.” He added: “For years, certain members of the band’s so-called ‘classic line-up’ have done everything in their power to write me out of the Rollers’ story.
