 Guy Mitchell
Guy Mitchell was one of the smooth, sports-jacketed American singers
to be washed away by the mid-50s rock revolution. He made the original
version of Singing The Blues which was Number 1 in Britain
and the US in 1957 (Tommy Steele also made Number 1 in Britain with
his cover version of the song).
Mitchell also scored in 1957 with Knee Deep In The Blues
and Rock-A-Billy, but despite his attempts to accommodate
himself to the new music, after Heartaches By The Numbers in
1959 he rapidly faded from popularity.
Mitchell died on 1 July 1999 in Las Vegas, from surgical
complications. He was 72.
