RONNIE CARROLL

RONNIE CARROLL wurde als Ronald Cleghorn am
18.8.1934 in Belfast, Nordirland, geboren. 1956 erhielt
er einen Schallplattenvertrag bei Philips und sein
erster kleinerer Hit hiess noch 1956 "Walk Hand In
Hand" (Platz 13; Philips PB 605). Nach beständigen
Platten auf Philips nahm er 1962 für England am
Eurovisions-Kontest mit "Ring-A-Ding Girl" (Philips
PB 1222) teil und wurde Vierter. In den UK-Charts
reichte es nur zu Platz 46. 1962 gelang ihm sein
größter Hit mit der Coverversion von "Roses Are Red"
(Platz 3 UK-Charts; Philips 326532 BF). 1963 folgte
ein Platz 6 in den UK-Charts mit "Say Wonderful
Things" (Philips 326574 BF).

Interessanterweise veröffentliche die Philips die
Platte bei uns genau mit der gleichen Bestellnummer,
jedoch mit dem Hinweis "Made In Germany".
