Description
the early 1950s pre-rock 'n' roll days in Britain, multi-talented 'King of Zing' Johnny Brandon was the British heart-throb with countless radio, television and personal appearances across the country. Apart from singing Johnny also composed songs for the likes of Jessie Matthews and Vera Lynn. He starred in hit West End musical 'Love from Judy' and made the Top Ten charts with his self-penned 'Tomorrow'.
Wanting to achieve more, Johnny emigrated to New York in the mid-1950s where he slowed down his singing career and got involved in record production and wrote musicals. Notable off-Broadway successes include 'Billy No-Name' and 'Cindy'. A past winner of the Novello award, New York's gain was our loss.
In spite of recording scores of singles for virtually all the major British labels there has never been a Johnny Brandon solo album until now. A veteran of the Normandy invasion, Johnny is still active in music production today and we are delighted he agreed to record 4 new tracks for this project. So, here on this CD, Sepia presents 21 Johnny Brandon re-mastered tracks from the 1950s and 4 brand new recordings from today.
