Billy Kinsley Wiki: Salary, Married, Wedding, Spouse, Family

Billy Kinsley (born William Ellis Kinsley, 28 November 1946, Anfield, Liverpool) was an English musician with The Merseybeats until 1966 (although he temporary left the band both to form the Kinsleys, and to get married to hairdresser Pat Allman). The group disbanded in January 1966 to resurface as a duo called The Merseys. They recorded The McCoys' song "Sorrow" (also covered by David Bowie on his 1973 cover album, Pin Ups) with the band before embarking on a solo career, where he recorded "Bye Bye Baby". This song is not to be confused with a Four Seasons track of a similar title, both rather a typical Merseybeat tune. Followed by the singles: "Annabella", and "You Make My Day". Kinsley also undertook session work, which included working for Apple Records (alongside George Harrison), and working on the popular Top of the Pops record series, which contained anonymous cover versions of recent and current hit singles. During this time he worked with fellow musician friend, Jimmy Campbell, and formed the band, Rockin' Horse. They recorded one album and toured England and Europe as the backing band for Chuck Berry.Kinsley later formed Liverpool Express in the mid-1970s, and again experienced chart success with "You Are My Love", mentioned by Paul McCartney as one of his favourite love songs, plus "Every Man Must Have A Dream", "Dreamin", "Hold Tight", and "Smile". They toured the UK and Europe supporting Rod Stewart, released more singles, and found popularity in South America (they were the first band to play large stadiums in Brazil). They had quite a few hit singles all over South America, and three of their singles ("You Are My Love", "Dreamin'", and "Every Man Must Have A Dream") reached No. 1 in the charts. In 1978, they played at the Royal Gala Performance at the request of Prince Charles, at the Empire Theatre in Liverpool. The following year, after three albums and more single releases, they had no further chart success.Kinsley formed a side band named, The Cheats, with members Kenny Parry (guitar), and Brian Rawling (drums), playing pubs and clubs in and around Merseyside. In the mid-1980s, Phil Chittuck joined the band in place of Rawling, and they released the following two singles (as Liverpool Express): "So What", and "If You're Out There". Kinsley later took on more session work and joined The Pete Best Band, with whom he recorded a live album and a single ("Heaven"). In the mid-1990s, Kinsley re-joined The Merseybeats. Liverpool Express recorded an album in 2002, Once Upon A Time, which followed a best of album, and a single, a tribute to the Beatles, titled "John George Ringo & Paul".In 2009, Spencer Leigh of BBC Radio Merseyside produced a four-part radio series about Kinsley's career, entitled It's Love That Really Counts, which featured interviews with Kinsley and others, and music from his career. A book was also issued under the same title, as well as a CD featuring new recordings.
