Famous for

He had two Top Twenty hits in the UK Singles Chart in 1971 with "I Did What I Did For Maria", which reached #2 and "Is This the Way to Amarillo", which peaked at #18. He also had a minor hit with "Avenues & Alleyways" which reached #37, the theme to the television series The Protectors. His early songs were dramatic big-voiced numbers, many of which were written by Mitch Murray and Peter Callandar.

Album wise he recorded regularly throughout the seventies and made infrequent appearances on the charts. His album With Loving Feeling sold well boosted by the hit single "Is This The Way to Amarillo". He recorded an album in America in 1973 with top producer Snuff Garrett which did little to stop his commercial slant. A live album followed which sold relatively better. But by the mid 1970s recorded work became rarer and stage work took preference.
