Original Toronto Star caption: Lead singer Les McKeown has made enormous improvement in the year since the Bay City Rollers were last in Toronto, says Peter Goddard of his performance at the CNE last night. He was growling and gutsy and totally in charge, Goddard reports. The Scottish band has turned from a phenomenon into the real McCoy of rock n roll.
