They got their first big break at the Oasis, where Fontana Records producer Jack Baverstock saw enough potential to sign them. Their first minor hit was Hello Josephine in 1963. Like many beat bands of the era, they specialized in serving up revamped R\\u2019n\\u2019B covers, achieving a breakthrough with soul singer Major Lance\\u2019s Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um. This, their fifth release, charted at number five.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eBut it was their next release The Game of Love, which earned the band a prominent place in the Sixties pop pantheon. The song narrowly failed to reach Number One, but proved a slow-burner, gathering momentum after its release. Spearheading the Manchester contingent in the British Invasion of the States, the band gained instant success with The Game of Love netting the Number One spot. The peerless The Game of Love, followed by other hits such as Just a Little Bit Late and She Needs Love.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eIn 1965, Wayne left the group to peruse a solo career in which the tracks Come on Home and Pamela, Pamela proved to be the most successful. After retiring from music in the early 70\\u2019s, Wayne makes appearances on the revivalist circuit. The mindbenders \\u2013 minus Wayne \\u2013 gained another Stateside hit with Groovy Kind of Love, and a British hit Ashes to Ashes, before a string of flops led to them calling it a day in 1968. The song The Game of Love has been used in countless Hollywood movies, most memorably Good Morning Vietnam.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eWayne now runs a very successful agency and with his New Mindbenders he\\u2019s packing them in on revival shows world-wide.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
