Kenny Lynch
Biography
Kenny Lynch was a singer, songwriter and actor from England who also worked as an entertainer in variety shows. Born in Stepney, East London, he made his first public appearance at twelve with his sister, the jazz singer Maxine Daniels, and after army service he was spotted singing in Soho nightclubs, which led to a contract with HMV. He had UK hits in the early 1960s, including the top ten singles Up on the Roof and You Can Never Stop Me Loving You, and his version of Misery was the first cover of a Beatles song to be issued, though it did not chart. Much of his material was self-written, and with Mort Shuman he wrote hits for the Small Faces and Cilla Black. He was appointed an OBE in 1970, and in 1978 his entry in the A Song for Europe contest placed second. He also appeared in television programs such as Z-Cars and The Sweeney.
