Original Toronto Star caption: Wayne Cochrane, the six-foor-one beefly soul-singer had the crowd tittering with his bouffant hairstyle - until he began to wiggle. He looked like Gorgeous George and Mae West combined. He was accompanied by a 10-man barrage of music that had the crowd cringing at their first ear-shattering blast.
