Man. However records show that this did not happen. He did, however, have two of his bands on the same Top of the Pops four times between 29 January and 26 February 1970. Appearing alongside Edison Lighthouse on the shows were Brotherhood of Man (29 January 1970 and 19 February 1970) and White Plains (12 February 1970 and 26 February 1970). The recordings of his appearances on 29 January, 5 February and 26 February 1970 are all still in existence. Although he hit the top 40 as the lead singer of five different groups, he only managed to have one chart single as a solo artist in the US. In 1970, he hit the Billboard Hot 100 with "Melanie Makes Me Smile", which peaked at No. 87. As well as fronting various hit-making acts, Burrows has also contributed vocals as a session singer to many other hits, claiming to have sung on 100 top 20 hits in the 1970s. He has also recorded as a session harmony singer with Elton John on the songs "Levon" and "Tiny Dancer", with Cliff Richard, and James Last. In 2011, Burrows was awarded the BASCA Gold Badge Award in recognition of his contribution to music.
