The brilliance of Tony Burrows. I adore this song.

[@northnsouth6813]

The lead singer Tony Burrows a session singer sang lead. He was the voice of several studio groups, including White Plains, The Pipkins, and Brotherhood Of Man, First Class ("Beach Baby") and the Flowerpot Men ("Let's Go To San Francisco"). He famously appeared on one Top of the Pops show three times in one night when three different groups.

John Carter said it's him singing on the record "Let's go to San Francisco" in 1967. Tony Burrows didn't record the original track. The vocals are by John Carter, not Tony. The TV singing was mimed to John Carter's recording.

[@korNouran]

The voice of "Let's go to San Francisco" is the songwriter and producer, John Carter

Then is Tony Burrows also a chosen mimer by John Carter on "Let's go to San Francisco"?

John Carter and Ken Lewis, having no interest in going on the road to promote the record, created the group from a hand-picked collective of recording studio session musicians and vocalists. Led by vocalist Tony Burrows,

This is probably one of the best pop song of its kind ever. You just can´t not like it. Its positivity gas goes in through your nostrils and into your system and your soul. You sympathise with this naive young man who´s crazy in love with a girl that might be crazy too (or not ?). The melody, the lead guitar...it´s all enchanted !.

john carter (the songwriter) often made recordings of his songs using session singers & musicians, who were often people who preferred to do session work rather than travel. if a song charted, the same people did (often?) local things like totp, but for touring, mr carter would but together a second version of the groups with singers and musicians who did the tour. so there were often two versions of a group, both of whom were professional singers/musicians. here the rcording features tony burrows singing, who we also see here on stage. in the music video we see the touring group. both were “edison lighthouse” but different iterations hired for different purposes.

[@leod-sigefast]

Looking at a cold clinical analysis of WWII, without the emotion, the British Army performed really badly. Very much a: stop, 'I've done my bit', have a brew, go souvenir hunting - with a quite high rate of surrender. A trade union (according to Antony Beevor) style atmosphere existed in the British Army in WWII which really stopped it performing very effectively. I suppose, who could blame them after what happened to their fathers in WWI. Max Hastings often rips into their battlefield performance in WWII. The RAF and Navy did somewhat better. Partly as they got a 'higher caliber' of recruit. Also, the majority of people did not serve in the military during WWII. Reserved professions were much more protected, and expanded, after the acute shortages experienced during WWI.
