Always enjoyed his work with the Mindbenders and he had some excellent solo records like 24 Sycamore and Pamela Pamela. Yet another lost to cancer. Thanks for the music !

i read a history of his recordings, and the mindbenders, with and without him, once. the chronology is both confusing and complicated. the records were also misleadingly credited and advertised as well in some cases too, apparently.
in any case, wayne was quite the 'character' to say the least. some years back he was on trial for, i think, disturbing the peace or something similar, when he set the bailiff's car on fire, leading to another charge of course. there's a couple of great pics of wayne in costume, with props at the trial, if you can find them. i couldn't get any of the url's to work here, or i'd have included one. .

Eric Stewart, co-founder of the Mindbenders with Wayne Fontana, also founded 10cc. Mindbenders made a guest appearance in Sidney Poitier's movie To Sir With Love.

"The Game Of Love" was a great, catchy song. Loved it.
RIP Wayne.
