Shakin’ Stevens and the Sunsets

Welsh revival rock'n'roll band formed in Cardiff in 1968 and fronted by vocalist Michael Barratt, better known as 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 A Legend (UK 1970) (opens in a new tab). Per 2013 some of the original members still performed under then name The Sunsets on the local circuit in Wales, fronted by Barratt's nephew Levi Barratt.
