Biography,Main article: Zoot (band)Darryl Grant Cotton was born on 4 September 1949 in Adelaide and grew up in the suburb of Christies Beach. His mother was Gloria. In 1965 Cotton was the lead vocalist for The Murmen, when he formed a pop rock covers band, Down the Line, with local rivals, Times Unlimiteds Gerard Bertelkamp (later known as Beeb Birtles) on vocals and bass guitar, John DArcy on guitar and vocals, and Ted Higgins on drums. In mid-1967 the group changed their name to Zoot and increased the original content played. They entered the South Australian heats of Hoadleys Battle of the Sounds, finishing second in a tense contest to The Masters Apprentices. In mid-1968, Zoot relocated to Melbourne, where their management promoted them under the slogan Think Pink – Think Zoot – all band members wore pink costumes, Cottons car was repainted pink, his pet dog, Monty, had its fur dyed pink, and the venue, Birties Disco, was pink-themed throughout. In September Rick Brewer, Cottons band mate from The Murmen, joined on drums.Cotton and Birtles co-wrote Little Roland Lost which was issued as the B-side on Zoots June 1969 single, Monty & Me. The A-side was produced by Go-Set writer, Ian Meldrum (later hosted TV pop music series, Countdown), while the B-side was produced by Terry Britten. Monty & Me – referenced Cottons dog – which reached the Go-Set Top 40. Zoot were voted Top Australian Group in Go-Sets pop poll published in June, just ahead of The Masters Apprentices and Brisbane group, The Avengers. In the same poll Russell Morris was most popular Male Vocal. In July they undertook a tour through the eastern Australian states with Ronnie Burns, The Sect and Jon Blanchfield on the bill. In September Rick Springfield (ex-Wickedy Wak) joined on lead guitar and vocals. Zoot undertook the Operation Starlift Tour with other Australian artists including Johnny Farnham, The Masters Apprentices, Burns, Morris, Johnny Young and The Valentines. For Zoot, the national tour brought increased media ridicule, peer envy and scorn from detractors – much of the criticism was homophobic, for their continuing use of pink outfits, where they were described as pretty pink pansies. In December when the tour reached Brisbane, Cotton was injured in an assault by street toughs. Early in 1970 Zoot finally discarded their pink outfits and attempted to shift their image and music towards heavier rock from the earlier teeny-bopper pop. In December that year, they released their most successful single, Eleanor Rigby, which was a hard rock cover version of The Beatles ballad and by March 1971 it had peaked in the top five. On Go-Sets Top Records for the Year of 1971 it finished at No. 12. In May 1971 despite the top 30 charting of their next single, Freak, the group disbanded.Cotton and Birtles formed Darryl and Beeb as a pop, soft rock duo but soon changed their name to Frieze when they were sponsored by Frieze Brothers (a clothing company). In September they issued a cover version of the Mann-Weil track, Feelings, on Sparmac Records. In March 1972, the Cotton-penned single, Try Yourself, was issued under the name, Darryl and Beeb Frieze. In May they followed with their debut album, 1972 B. C., on Warner Brothers, using session musicians. By June Frieze had disbanded and Cotton issued Why Do Little Kids Have to Die, from 1972 B. C. as his debut solo single. In July Cotton travelled to the United Kingdom while Birtles joined Mississippi (previously known as Allison Gros and then as Drummond), which, in 1975, evolved into Little River Band. Early in 1973 Cotton joined United States-based group, Friends, with Michael Lloyd and Australian-raised singer-songwriter Steve Kipner (ex-Steve and the Board, Tin Tin). They issued a single, Gonna Have a Good Time (a cover of The Easybeatss song Good Times) backed by Would You Laugh which was co-written by Cotton with Lloyd and Kipner. Friends followed with self-titled album before Cotton and Lloyd left to form a vocal trio, Cotton, Lloyd and Christian with Chris Christian. In 1975 the trio issued a self titled album, and the single, I Go to Pieces, which reached the Billboard Hot 100. Their second album, Number Two, appeared in 1976. In April 1977 they released another single, Crying in the Rain.
