CAREER

Paper Lace had two big hits. In 1974, they won Opportunity Knocks , the ITV talent contest, with '' Billy Don't Be A Hero ''. It went to the Number One slot in the UK Singles Chart . The group subsequently followed that up with '' The Night Chicago Died '', an American Billboard Hot 100 chart topper. By 1978, the band's popularity waned. The group dissolved, but Philip Wright and Cliff Fish carried on as Paper Lace, with other musicians filling in for the missing band members. In 1997, Wright joined Sons And Lovers . He now does occasional gigs as ''Philip Wright's Paper Lace''.
