John Henry Rostill (16 June 1942 – 26 November 1973) was an English musician, bassist and composer, recruited by the Shadows to replace Brian Locking[1] in autumn 1963.
He wrote many of the tunes by the Shadows including "The Rise and Fall of Flingel Bunt" in 1964. He wrote or co-wrote three songs in the 1970s which were massive hits in the United States—"Let Me Be There", "If You Love Me, Let Me Know" and "Please Mr. Please"—but died before seeing them succeed.
