Biography - Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders
Wayne Fontana took his name from the drummer D.J.Fontana and not his record label as is sometimes supposed. He and his group, the Mindbenders, were one of the many talented acts to come out of Manchester during the 1960s 'beat boom'. Wayne was an accomplished R&B singer and soon gained a useful following of female admirers in the north of England.
The band had immediate chart success with their first single, but its lowly #46 position and the failure of its follows up were disappointing.
