Did they sing have i the right to hold you?

Answer 1

Have I The Right was sung by The Honeycombs and was a hit in 1964. It was later cover by a group called The Dead End Kids in 1977.

It was also covered by several other artists both at the time in 1964 and as recently as 2010.

Most of those are listed on my site thehoneycombs.info

Answer 2

No, Have I The Right was sung by The Honeycombs and was a hit in 1964. It was later cover by a group called The Dead End Kid in 1977 but The bay city rollers never covered the song.

Yes they did, they never recorded it but performed it on their American TV Show which was similar to Shang-a-Lang.

Loads of bands and singers did cover the song. I have listed most of them on my website thehoneycombs.info

I would really like to see evidence of the BCR playing Have I The Right for inclusion in my page.

Are you sure it wasn't the Dead End Kids, they were rather similar.

Answer 3

No..... But is was penned by song writers, who had just split from the rollers, hence the similar style.

Another Scottish band by the name of "Slik" sang Forever and Ever. The lead singer was Midge Ure.
