Doc Carroll and the Royal Blues singles chronology
"Old Man Trouble" (1965)
"Far Away from You" (1966)
A cover version by Irish showband singer Doc Carroll reached #1 in the Irish Singles Chart, staying there for two weeks in 1966. At the time, it was claimed that County Mayo people bought up the record in large quantities so that the Royal Blues would be the first West of Ireland act to reach number one. It allowed Carroll to displace Shay O'Hara as lead vocalist with the Royal Blues showband, and he went on to have a long and successful career in Ireland.
