Yorkshire-born pop singer Carole Deene (b. Carole Carver, 1944) appeared on Be My Guest in 1961 after auditioning with the BBC, and released 15 singles 1961-1969. Four of them charted in the UK, including songs first recorded by Sue Thompson (Sad Movies 1961 #44; Norman 1962 #24) and Joanie Sommers (Johnny Get Angry 1962 #25).

According to the detailed biography at Ready Steady Girls, she ended up managing a radio station in Spain with her husband.

Barry Mason was one of the most prolific and successful songwriters of the 60s. He is mainly (but not exclusively) a lyricist, usually working in collaboration.

 • The Fortunes' Here It Comes Again (1965, #4 UK, #27 USA)
 • Engelbert Humperdink's The Last Waltz (1967, #5 UK, #31 USA) and Les Bicyclettes De Belsize (1968, #1 UK, #25 USA)
 • Tom Jones's Delilah (1968, #2 UK, #15 USA)
With Tony Macaulay:
 • Edison Lighthouse's Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes) (1970, #1 UK, #5 USA).

Barry Mason songs recorded in Australia include Melanie Makes Me Smile by The Strangers and She Works In A Woman's Way by Dave Allenby With Autumn (both written with Tony Macaulay).

Co-writer of Dancing in Your Eyes Graham Bradly is better known as Graham Bonney, the name he adopted on his #19 hit in the UK with Supergirl (1966, another Bradly-Mason composition) and during a long and successful career in Germany.
