VH1:
Behind The Music: Bay City Rollers - A look at one of the '70s biggest teen idol bands. In 1974, the group reached No. 1 on the U.S. charts with their hit, "Saturday Night." However, their success was short-lived. Fans outgrew the teeny-bopper image and tension in the band grew out of control. They broke up and pursued solo careers. In 1982, five years after their breakup, the band reformed, only to be dealt a hard blow when their manager was sentenced to three years in prison after he was convicted of gross indecency with teenage boys. The Bay City Rollers reunited once more in 1997 with a new manager, and are currently working on a new album.
