Shakin' Stevens And The Sunsets

Welsh revival rock'n'roll band formed in Cardiff in 1968 and fronted by vocalist [a=Michael Barratt], better known as [a=Shakin' Stevens]. The band disbanded in 1977 and Shakin' Stevens found fame as a solo artist in the 1980's. In 1999 the original Sunsets won a legal battle against Barratt on charges of non-payment of royalties for reissue of their 1970 debut album [r=5006202]. Per 2013 some of the original members still performed under then name [a=The Sunsets] on the local circuit in Wales, fronted by Barratt's nephew [a=Levi Barratt].
