After Hallyday was required to do national service in the French Army, Clarke again joined Taylor, as The Bobbie Clarke Noise' along with Ralph Danks (guitar), Alain Bugby of The Strangers (bass), Johnny Taylor, ex-lead singer for The Strangers (rhythm guitar), and "Stash" Prince Stanislas Klossowski de Rola (percussion). Managed by Jean Claude Camus, the band embarked on a triumphant tour of Spain and then co-topped the bill with The Rolling Stones during the Easter week-end of 1965 at the Olympia in Paris.
