I loved all of Carl's recordings - well the hit records. Marcheta, Still, Mexicali Rose and and of course Wimoweh!

I never saw him apart from on telly.
My sister saw him. Her first boyfriend took her on his vespa to see a rock package show in Peterborough. She brought back the programme and I pored over it.

The biographical details in the programme were that he was Scottish. He had been a merchant seaman, but jumped ship in the USA. and made his way to Nashville. That's what it said in the booklet. No idea if its true.
