Billy Arnell

Billy (real name Smith) was only 14 when Tough Girl came out. Billy Smith changed his surname to Arnell for the 45 release as he thought it sounded more showbiz ! … he was actually only 14 at the time but as the band were gigging in bars he had to pretend he was much older. Billy ended up starting a record company and a recording studio in NY with a partner named Steve Loeb.
