British pop singer and writer from the late 1950's to early 1960's. He released his first hit single called 'Maybe Tomorrow' for Decca in 1959 and there is a bronze statue of this person in the National Museum of Liverpool Life. Who was this man? |

Does anyone remember Reginald Alfred John Truscott-Jones, born in Wales in 1907 and died in 1986? He once served with the Household Cavalry and became well-known for a particular line of work involving the visual arts. Who was this man? Edited by: Rob Faleer at:28th January 2010 15:51 |

He came on dressed all in black leathers,holding his crutch singing "Goodness gracious great balls of fire". The Queen was not amused. Lol I am feeling quite a bit better thanks Ron.

I think even Charles has a laugh now and again lol. |
