Kingsize Taylor and the Dominoes
Kingsize Taylor and the Dominoes were a British rock and roll band, formed in Liverpool in the late 1950s. One of the first beat groups in the Merseyside area, they were a locally popular and influential group who were contemporaries and rivals of The Beatles, and featured Cilla Black as a guest singer before her solo career, but had little commercial success except in Germany.
Career.
The Dominoes were originally formed in north Liverpool, in 1957, from a school skiffle group called the
back Chuck Berry and Carl Perkins on tour in 1964. They also appeared on the British TV show "Ready Steady Go!".
Later activities.
The original Kingsize Taylor and the Dominoes split up at the end of 1964, with the Dominoes – Frankland, Casey, Thompson and Kemp, with singer Paddy Chambers – remaining in the UK to work. Taylor returned with his German wife to Hamburg, where he played lead guitar for the Griff Parry Five before forming a new version of Kingsize Taylor and the Dominoes
