Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods are best remembered today for their version of "Billy, Don't Be A Hero," which topped the Billboard chart for two weeks in the U.S. in June 1974. Although the group was not able to duplicate the massive success of that hit with their subsequent singles, they did achieve several more chart hits during the 1970s, the most successful of which was "Who Do You Think You Are."
"Who Do You Think You Are" was released as the follow-up single to "Billy, Don't Be A Hero"; it would achieve a peak placing of #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in early fall of the same year. The catchy, upbeat song was composed by Clive Scott and Des Dyer, both members of Jigsaw (see the previous posting on "Love Fire"), who also recorded it for one of their own LPs.
A reformed version of Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods still continues to tour today as part of The Original Idols Live. The group's four studio albums do not appear to have been issued on CD, although a compilation of the group's material, The Best of Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods, was released by Varese Sarabande in the mid 1990s. "Who Do You Think You Are" is also included on several 1970s compilations, including Vol. 13 of Rhino's Super Hits of the '70s: Have A Nice Day series.
