I can’t remember their names and I never actually heard them: I’ve only read about them in the gospels of Matthew, John, Paul, George and Ringo.
Something something and the 12 disciples, I think.
(Don’t quote me on that - I haven’t been paying attention and don’t have my spectacles to hand).
The band inspired generations of musicians including the Singing Nun, Elvis Priestly and Three Daft Monks.
Hang on - I’ve just remembered the name!
KC and the Sunshine Band.
That’s the Way (huh-huh, huh-huh) I Like it.

Sorry guys, but has to be the Osmonds. They can sing, dance, play their instruments and write some of their own songs (and were good looking enough too)
Yes, I know they were cheesy - but I saw them in 1972 when I was a girl and again in 2008. I was no longer a girl and they were certainly not boys any more but - they swept back the years and made me feel like a teenager again. Pure magic!
