Kenny were a mid-1970s English pop and glam rock band.
Career:
Kenny emerged from a North London band called Chufff.Songwriters Bill Martin and Phil Coulter wrote the bulk of the successful songs for them. In the event, stardom was to prove extremely fleeting. While the group garnered some publicity from Kellogg's objections to the band's 'K' logo and "The Bump" made number three in the UK Singles Chart in early 1975, they enjoyed just three further British hits, all penned by Martin-Coulter: "Fancy Pants", "Baby I Love You OK" and "Julie Anne".
Although uncredited, all lead and background vocals on "The Bump" were performed by Barry Palmer.
Kenny were managed by Peter Walsh, a 1960s and 1970s pop entrepreneur whose portfolio also included The Tremeloes, Marmalade, The Troggs and Hot Chocolate.
In 1996, former band member Rick Driscoll appeared on the 'Identity Parade', on the BBC Television programme Never Mind the Buzzcocks.
