Ronnie Hilton was one of the most successful British
ballad singers of the 1950s and, unlike many of his
contemporaries, he continued to have hits after the
arrival of rock?n?roll. He was so popular that when
the BBC wanted a host for their 1990s radio series
Sounds of the Fifties Ronnie was the obvious choice.
Ronnie Hilton was an important part of 1950s Britain
- as the NME noted at the end of that decade, ?Right
from the start, he has given us a string of
captivating and easily memorised songs, which have
had the entire nation whistling and singing?. A well
deserved epitaph for one of the great British
balladeers. |
