Singer Shane Hales, an English immigrant who had found fame as the lead singer of the raucous Pleazers in the mid-1960s, would become one of the more enduring faces of the decade and remains a household name to this day...
...After the break-up of The Pleazers in June 1967, singer Shane Hales joined the Auckland band The Jamestown Union.
