Very sad, RIP
On Monday , it was announced that Ted ‘Kingsize’ Taylor has passed away at the age of 83. Ted was part of the band, Kingsize Taylor and the Dominoes, and has shared the bill with one of the most famous bands in the world - The Beatles.
In Hamburg, Ted who was nicknamed 'Kingsize' due to his 6ft 5in frame, shared the stage with artists such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Ray Charles, Fats Domino and the Everly Brothers. However, he was also hugely popular away from music. Writing on Facebook, his son, Mark Taylor, said: “Good night Dad, get those amps warmed up, we’re all coming to your party. Love you forever.”
Originally formed in North Liverpool in the late 1950s, Kingsize Taylor and the Dominoes were a British rock and roll band who were one of the first beat groups in the Merseyside area. They were the contemporaries and rivals of The Beatles and enjoyed large commercial success in Germany.
