The Fortunes are an English harmony beat group. Formed in Birmingham, the Fortunes first came to prominence and international acclaim in 1965, when You’ve Got Your Troubles broke into the US, Canadian and UK Top 10s. They followed this with a succession of hits, including Here It Comes Again and Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again, continuing into the 1970s with globally successful releases such as Storm in a Teacup and Freedom Come, Freedom Go. In 1966 their manager, Reginald Calvert, was shot dead in a dispute over pirate radio stations. In 1958, two Birmingham teenagers, Rodney Bainbridge (born 31 March 1944) and Barry Pritchard (born 3 April 1944), were attending Moseley School and formed a duo called the Strollers, eventually adding a bassist and drummer. In 1963, the Strollers were spotted by music promoter and pirate‑radio pioneer Reginald Calvert and his wife Dorothy, who had started a performance school on their estate at Clifton Hall near Rugby, Warwickshire, and invited Rodney and Barry to live there.
