Michael Holliday


Michael Holliday was the first Liverpudlian to achieve two Number 1 hits. His single The Story Of My Life (1958) became the first UK chart-topper for the now-legendary songwriting team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. 

Holliday's record was eventually bettered by a Gerry & The Pacemakers hat-trick in October 1963, which coincided with his death at the age of 37.
