I saw Mungo Jerry years ago, they were a good tight band.

There was a small number of American artists in the 1960s who couldn't get noticed in their own country but were much more popular over here, and were kind of adopted by us. The Flirtations were one such group. They had a minor hit with the classic 'Nothing But A Heartache', and became a staple of 1970s TV light entertainment shows, as well as on the northern 'chicken in a basket' circuit.
This is a great video - although they wouldn't have called it a video back then. Looks like it was filmed on a Hammer film location ...

One of the founder members (not the singer with the sideburns) used to live down the road in Lerryn. Rumour has it he threatened the owner of the village pub with a shotgun after finding out he was nocking off his girlfriend, think he lives in Fowey now. From what I've heard he never made any money from his time in the music business, set up as a landscaper down this way quite a few years ago and made decent money in property.

When England's Mungo Jerry member Paul King allegedly saw his girlfriend in bed with another man, he probably never thought his troubles were just beginning.

I'll be damned I didn't realise he went to court for it. When he left Lerryn he almost demolished and rebuilt a place in Penpol on the creek which was only about 2 miles away, then I believe he moved to Fowey.
