In
the
early
1950s
pre-rock
’n
roll
days
in
Britain,
multi-talented
“King
of
Zing”
Johnny
Brandon
was
the
British
heart-throb
with
countless
radio,
television
and
personal
appearances
across
the
country.
Apart
from
singing
Johnny
also
composed
songs
for
the
likes
of
Jessie
Matthews
and
Vera
Lynn.
He
starred
in
hit
West
End
musical
“Love
from
Judy”
and
made
the
Top
Ten
charts
with
his
self-penned
“Tomorrow”.
Wanting
to
achieve
more,
Johnny
emigrated
to
New
York
in
the
mid-1950s
where
he
slowed
down
his
singing
career
and
got
involved
in
record
production
and
wrote
musicals.
Notable
off-Broadway
successes
include
“Billy
No-Name”
and
“Cindy”.
A
past
winner
of
the
Novello
award,
New
York’s
gain
was
our
loss.
In
spite
of
recording
scores
of
singles
for
virtually
all
the
major
British
labels
there
has
never
been
a
Johnny
Brandon
solo
album
until
now.
A
veteran
of
the
Normandy
invasion,
Johnny
is
still
active
in
music
production
today
and
we
are
delighted
he
agreed
to
record
4
new
tracks
for
this
project.
So,
here
on
this
CD,
Sepia
presents
21
Johnny
Brandon
re-mastered
tracks
from
the
1950s
and
4
brand
new
recordings
from
today.
