For sure it was session players with Paul da Vinci providing the lead voice for a standard session fee. When the record became a hit Wayne Bickerton put together a working band but da Vinci was not involved.
Thank you for clarifying.
When Paul Da Vinci sang for Bill Hurd's Rubettes he was fantastic. Alan William's Rubettes had more energy but Sugar Baby Love sounded shit. I still listen to their last 70s albums: Still Unwinding and Sometime In Oldchurch.
