Bowie left the King Bees shortly afterwards, and Conn hooked him up with the Manish Boys, another R&B group that he handled. At this point, Bowie and the group were just faces in the crowd, and Conn did make some effort to get them media exposure, playing up their outrageously (for the time) long hair and using that pretext to get them onto BBC TV, where Bowie was described as president of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Long-Haired Men. They also got a slot on a package tour with Gerry the Pacemakers, Marianne Faithfull, and the Kinks. There was also a Manish Boys single, produced by Kinks producer Shel Talmy. But Bowie wasn't making much headway, and in 1965, still known as David Jones, he and Conn amicably terminated their association. Conn did, however, do some backing vocal chants on Bowie's 1965 single (billed to Davy Jones) Baby Loves That Way. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
