Everyone has heard of Cliff :naughty: , but what other singers of the time were any good.

 

What about any of these

 

Adam Faith....What do you want

Anthony Newley.....Strawberry fair

Lonnie Donegan.....My old man's a dustbin

John Leyton.....Johnny remember me

Frankie Vaughan......Tower of strength

Frank Ifield....I remember you

Tommy Steele....What a mouth

Marty Wilde.....Rubber ball

Lonnie Donegan's a bit of a legend and nobody could yodel like Frank Ifield (although why would you want to?)

 

 

Johnny Remember Me is a Joe Meek classic. It still sounds weird. Billy Fury used to have a huge rep but the only song I've ever heard is Long Live Rock on the soundtrack from That'll Be The Day. Adam Faith's Beat Girl was used in Fat Boy Slim's Rockafella Skank :lol: Tommy Steele did Rock With The Caveman which is a lot more authentic rock'n'roll than anything The Artic Monkeys have done :lol:

He also did Little White Bull which isn't :lol:

tbh i dont know what to make of this... they were 'pretty' often themed songs, very dated and rather square.. it was almost 'proto pop'.
