John Leyton visited Radio Caroline on May 20th 2005. John came in to chat about his double life as a star of both films and records. (l to r) Dell, John Leyton, and Radio Caroline DJ Jim Ross |
He had many hits, including 'Johnny Remember Me' and 'Wild Wind', but he also
starred in films such as 'The Great Escape' and 'Von Ryans Express' John told us many fascinating stories about working with people like Joe Meek and Frank Sinatra. He also told of an amusing incident when he shared a golf buggy with Elvis. It was besieged by fans asking for John's autograph, and none of them recognised Elvis !!

Etherington. They were promoting John's new CD 'Johnny Remember Me' on Lone Rider Records. (l to r) John and Steve Etherington |
