This isn't the same Bill Martin that wrote Puppet on a String, Boom Bang a Bang, and the early Bay City Rollers hits with Phil Coulter is it? If it is then I see no record of his death.
Pass the bucket.  |

Yes I'm constantly amazed by our Army of contributors who seem to find out more than Reuters! |

Very sad news, one of the best pop music writers of the late 60s and early 70s, on a par with the likes of Chinn and Chapman. Two uk Eurovision wins (Sandie Shaw and Lulu(joint winner)), writer of Bay City Rollers hits Shang-a-lang, Remember, and Summer Love Sensation, and he even wrote the 1970 England World Cup Song "Back Home", which was pretty brave for a Sotsman.
Also from what I have seen of him from documentaries, he seemed like a lovely man. This really should have been a bigger story, even Wikipedia is still saying that he is alive, at the time of writing this. |
