Tommy Steele
Настоящее имя: Tommy Steele
Об исполнителе:
English singer actor and entertainer, regarded as Britain's first teen idol and rock and roll star. Born: December 17, 1936 // Bermondsey, London, United Kingdom. Like many who followed him Tommy started his musical career by playing in a skiffle group. He was also the first of the London based artists who would precurse their fame by singing at the 2 'I's Coffee Bar- a venue which later hosted the virtually unknown Adam Faith and Cliff Richard. Although Tommy's brand of Rock and Roll was nearer to 'easy listening' than that of some of his American contemporaries he more than made up for it with his personality. His manager, Larry Parnes, once said "Tommy Steele was the greatest entertainer that I ever had on my books", and Tommy Steele's rise as a teenage star was probably attributable to charisma rather than simple sex appeal. Steele shifted away from rock and roll in the 1960s, becoming an all-round entertainer and actor for movie and musical productions in the West End and on Broadway.
