David Essex ..

[Elina]

Only came in to existence for me in the 70s ... firstly with the film " That'll Be The Day" ... then all his chart hits from that era. I went on Wiki & found this track he'd made in 1965! Blimey!

Elina, I enjoyed Stardust more than TBTD to be honest. I thought it was a brilliant film " back in the day". It wasn't until I watched it back a few years ago ( about the time David Essex first appeared in Eastenders) that I realised it was his music rather than his acting which made the film.

Has he got "Romany" blood in him, or have I dreamt that? Not got time to Google,.....been out all afternoon, only just got home.....;)

I had both albums Paul. You're right, the music was a massive part of both.
