Beat, Beat, Beat | Episode 5 - Intro & Introduction Johnny B. Great & The Quotations / Beryl Marsden
John Kenneth Goodison (born 1943 Coventry, Warwickshire, England, died 1995 Coventry, England) who first appeared as Johnny B. Great, was an English rock musician, songwriter and record producer. He was best known as vocalist for his later project Big John's Rock and Roll Circus, which had a number 1 hit in South Africa. He also used the pseudonyms Peter Simmons and Peter Simons for co-writing songs for such as The Brotherhood of Man; Goodison was in the Brotherhood's original line-up from its foundation in 1969, co-writing and performing its 1970 chart hits "United We Stand" and "Where Are You Going to My Love" as well as other songs before leaving the group in 1971. In 1975 he co-wrote and co-produced The Bay City Rollers' second No. 1 "Give a Little Love" with Phil Wainman, and Status Quo had a Top 40 hit in 1988 with "Who Gets The Love", co-written by Goodison and Pip Williams.

Beryl Marsden, civil name Beryl Hogg (born June 10, 1947 in Liverpool, Lancashire, United Kingdom) is a British pop singer who was mainly active in the Merseybeat scene of the 1960s.
Marsden caught the eye of Bob Wooler, the disc jockey at the Cavern Club, who introduced her to Brian Epstein and recommended him as a possible manager. Against the background that Epstein already represented various artists and she therefore expected only limited attention from him, Marsden opted instead for Joe Flannery, the manager of Lee Curtis and the All-Stars, a successful British beat group of the early 1960s that had just included Pete Best. Epstein therefore signed Cilla Black as his only female artist in 1963. This also lost Marsden the chance to record the Lennon/McCartney composition Love of the Loved, which then became Cilla Black's debut single in September 1963 and reached the Top 30 of the British singles charts.
