Marty Wilde
Marty Wilde (real name Reg Smith) was the first of the Larry
Parnes stable to make it as Britain searched for its own mini-Presley.
He hit big in 1958 with Endless Sleep, following it in
1959 with a cover of Ritchie Valens'
Donna and a cover of Dion and the
Belmonts' Teenager In Love.
Wilde had hits right through to 1962 with Sea Of Love,
Bad Boy, Rubber Ball and Jezebel. He
also wrote the song Jesamine for The
Casuals, who enjoyed a hit with it in 1968.
Wilde celebrated 50 years at the musical coalface in May 2007
with family, friends and former band-mates at the London
Palladium.
