Dave King with You Can't Be True To Two, which made the charts in May 1956.
Dave King had one of the most remarkable careers in show business. Quite apart from his brief, but enviable, chart career with pop records, he was a successful comedian in both the UK and the USA, and subsequently a brilliant and much sought after serious actor.
He first came to wide public attention shortly after completing his national service with the RAF, although he'd established himself as a young performer in the music halls even before being called up. He'd returned to the halls after he'd been demobbed, but a few brief TV appearances during 1955 turned into a BBC contract for his own series- a marriage that was to last until he was 'poached' by the 'upstarts' at ITV in 1958. His earliest comedy shows were quite groundbreaking at the time. He would banter with the BBC announcers and grew a particular rapport with the late Macdonald Hobley, who he called 'Hobbly'. This was quite unheard of at a time when BBC announcement staff were still attired in evening dress and bow ties.
Not only was King an extraordinarily funny and innovative comedian, he could also sing- very well. With a crooning style which borrowed much from the likes of Bing Crosby and Dean Martin, Dave King took the charts in his stride. Despite the fact that many of his songs were cover versions of numbers that competed with top singing stars, like Perry Como, they sold well. Although the wrong material was probably chosen for some releases, his first efforts had competent arrangements and production; King's popular exposure on TV was sufficient to guarantee their chart success.
