FAMOUS BARNSLEY FOLK

ALAN BARTON

Alan Leslie Barton (16 September 1953 – 23 March 1995) was a British singer and member of the hit-making duo Black Lace.[1] Their hits included "Agadoo", "Superman" and their United Kingdom Eurovision Song Contest 1979 seventh-place finisher "Mary Ann" in Jerusalem.[2][3]

Career
Born in Barnsley, Yorkshire,[1] Barton replaced Chris Norman in Smokie in 1986, recording six albums with them, and touring extensively as their lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist.[1] He was the lead singer on Smokie's revival of their hit, "Living Next Door to Alice", recorded with comedian Roy 'Chubby' Brown, as "Living Next Door to Alice (Who the F**k Is Alice)".[1] In the early 1990s, he released his only solo album, Precious (1991) and two accompanying singles: "July 69" (1990) and "Carry Your Heart" (with Kristine Pettersen) (1991).[4]

Barton died in March 1995, at the age of 41, from injuries incurred when Smokie's tour bus crashed during a hailstorm in Cologne, Germany.[1][5]

He is buried at Liversedge cemetery, West Yorkshire.

MACS VIEW
Manager, players and fans all agreed that Satursday's defeat at Luton was unacceptable, seems to becoming the norm, feast or famine with us and this is no gimme either against a side which are young and will give it all to the final whistle.
Need to defend better than we did on Saturday and need to actually stick in a performance full stop.
The Tykes have some useful attacking players but personal view still think they have issues at the back
Personal view the contract issues of some players are affecting the club needs to be settled sooner rather than later
