Page "The Bugaloos" Paragraph 1

Touted as the British version of The Monkees, The Bugaloos attracted more than 5, 000 young actors and actresses to audition for the show's four lead roles, each having to demonstrate aptitude in dance, singing, and acting.

Among those auditioning in spring 1970 were Elton John's future manager John Reid, and Phil Collins, who joined the art-rock band Genesis later that year.
