Billy Kinsley

Billy Kinsley

Billy Kinsley (born William Ellis Kinsley, 28 November 1946, Anfield, Liverpool) was a musician with The Merseybeats until 1966, when he left to join a duo called The Merseys. He recorded a song called "Sorrow" (also covered by David Bowie on his 1973 cover album, "Pinups") with the band before embarking on a solo career, where he recorded "Bye Bye Baby". This song is not to be confused with a Four Seasons track of a similar title, as this was an original back to the roots raw Merseybeat tune.

Kinsley, along with Tony Crane, should be remembered as founder members of the phenomenon that was Merseybeat.

Kinsley later formed Liverpool Express in the early 1970s, and again experienced chart success with "You Are My Love", mentioned by Paul McCartney as one of his favourite love songs, "Everyman Must Have A Dream", "Dreamin" and "Smile".
