Mike Sarne was (is) an actor who had a couple of successful pop singles. The second "Will I What ?" had Billie Davis on answer vocals.
Mr. Sarne appeared at the Winter Gardens, Cleethorpes (see also Cleehropes Folk Festival thread) in about 1961. Hopelesly trying to impress the girl I'd been dancing with I asked if she's like his autograph. I went over "piece of paper in my hand" and asked. He quite willingly signed it and when I thanked him replied "it's a pleasure" with as much enthusiasm as if I'd suggested he should stay in Pop Music forever.
Not an unfriendly man but not exactly a Popstar.
I'll get me winklepickers.
