It is hard to convey  to people who do not know this group to tell you that in 70s music this group was the 70s version of Beatles mania, yes they were that big. But after the fame and the "money" things went so bad that the Rollers just seemed to have vanished from history, but as you will read here they were the 70s.

They were formed in 1966 as The Saxons, but changed the name after looking at a map of America, it was that easy. The brothers Alan and Derek Longmuir formed the group, and as group members came and go, and some went to join Pilot, another Scottish group.
