Don't know if it will help your search but his full name was Heinz Burt ...

Just did a search myself and that link provided lodekka is correct, Heinz Burt was definately in the Tornaods before he went solo ..........

[PhilBy]

Hah! You say he ain't the one you are looking for? Heinz Burt was the really blonde guy who called himself Heinz in the 60's ............. can't think of another, sorry

The following borrowed from the net :-)

Heinz, or Heinz Burt as he was known in the Tornados, was not only a prodigious talent, but a highly consistent recording artist. From the first two tracks here, dating from 1962, to the last one � a live recording of "I Got a Woman" done in 1965 from the Cavern Club � the recordings are exciting and interesting, and memorable. Heinz' producer on these sides was the legendary Joe Meek, and his signature attributes � flashy keyboards and guitar, all very compressed � can be found on much of it, but unlike a lot of other extended bodies of Meek's recordings, this body of music is highly listenable, track after track. Heinz was a better singer than he usually got credit for being, and he cut superb versions of "Summertime Blues" and "Twenty Flight Rock," and was just as good doing songs that came out of Meek's stable of composers, including Geoff Goddard's "Hush-a-Bye," and his singing makes even lackluster songs such as "(Sorry) I Ran All the Way Home" more interesting than they should be. The annotation is also extremely thorough, not just concerning the songs but also Heinz's career, which was, sadly, cut short by illness in the 1990s.

PhilBy - you should have Googled the song titles rather than fixating on Heinz Burt...

I didn't even read the song titles...... I went by "Heinz" the young blonde singer of the 60's (Who was Heinz Burt) but it turned out he was looking for a brown haired kid called Heintje! ................... so what happened to Heintje then?
