Dickie Valentine

Dickie Valentine was a British pop singer born in London in 1929 who became one of the most popular vocal performers in Britain during the 1950s. He scored two UK number one singles, 'Finger of Suspicion' and 'Christmas Alphabet', and was admired for a flexible vocal style that included spot-on impressions of other singers. His career slowed as rock and roll took hold in the 1960s, and he died in a car accident in 1971 at the age of 41.
