Kim & The Cadillacs (also spelled "Kim and The Cadillacs") were an Italian rock'n'roll group, mainly successful in the late seventies and in the early eighties.

Career
The group formed in 1977, founded by the former members of the disbanded group The Renegades Kim Brown, Graham Johnson and Mick Webley. Based in Italy, they adopted a 1950s-styled classic rock'n'roll repertoire, following the 1970s fifties nostalgia craze that had already inspired similar groups in North America as well as Happy Days and Grease. Following the hit "Rock and Roll Medley", in 1979 the group entered the main competition at the Sanremo Music Festival, ranking eighth with the song "C'era un'atmosfera". Their main successes were the 1981 single "Non Stop Twist" and the 1984 album "Size 50", which respectively charted thirteenth and seventh on the Italian hit parade.
