| COMMENTS | Kenny (Kenneth) Lynch was an
English singer, songwriter, entertainer, and actor. He
appeared in many variety shows in the 1960s. At the time, he
was among the few black singers in British pop music. He was
appointed an OBE in the 1970 New Year Honours list. He is also known for a single release of "Misery", the first cover version of a Beatles song to be released. In early 1963, Lynch had been on the same bill as the Beatles on the group's first British tour; John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote "Misery" in January 1963, in the hopes that the artist on top of the bill, Helen Shapiro, would record it. Shapiro's record producer turned it down, but Lynch took the composition and gave it a much more pop-oriented arrangement than the Beatles would use when they recorded "Misery" themselves on their debut album, Please Please Me. |
