This is the story of Arthur Charles Gomm, the fourth son of Rosa Newman and Harold Leopold Gomm. Arthur was born in Canterbury, Kent in 1926 and his sole aspiration in life was to sing. After a hard slog he achieved considerable success both as a vocalist with one of Britain’s most popular bands, The Ronnie Scott Orchestra, and also as front-man for one of Britain’s first rock ‘n’ roll bands, Art Baxter and His Rock ‘n’ Roll Sinners, setup by Jeffrey S Kruger MBE.
He sang with some of Britain’s finest musicians and performed at many of the top venues. His vocal style became legendary and set the trend for many of Britain’s rock stars to follow. He was at the top of his profession throughout the mid-1950s and, at the birth of rock ‘n’ roll in this country, Art Baxter was described by his record label Philips as ‘The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll in England.’
Art Baxter & His Rock ‘n’ Roll Sinners made two singles and an album and headlined over 298 performances during nine months of touring across England and Scotland. They also featured in Britain’s first Rock ‘n’ Roll movie ‘Rock You Sinners.’ However, Art had a dark side that would not only bring his fame and fortune to a sudden end, but would also plague him throughout his life which ended in loneliness and despair.
This book chronicles his life and times through the good, the bad and the ugly, right up to his death in 1997.
