Here's a piece I wrote about Chick & Co. After his brief career dissipated, Chick went to work as, I believe, a manager of a store. Ted Knibbs was run down by a bus and killed. For what it's worth, here is the piece I wrote and I'm pleased to see that fans are interested in the other acts on the Mersey scene, as so much information is already available about the Beatles.

I have been trying for some time now to find a copy of "I Know" by Chick and I can't even see it on YouTube. I bought this single when I was at school and I thought Chick Graham was great for such a young lad when I saw him singing it on the TV and I felt sure he was in for a good career.  I have even written to Brian Matthew on Radio 2 to ask if he knows if it's on a CD but have not had a reply!  ??)

Has anyone got a copy of Chick singing "I Know" that they can put on YouTube please?  Or failing that, get him out of retirement and make a come back on one of the 60s tours as I'm sure he can still sing!  8)
