	Marty Wilde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marty Wilde (born Reginald Leonard Smith on April 15, 1939 in South London) is a British singer, who was among the first generation of British stars to imitate American rock'n'roll.
		Most of his hits were covers of US successes ("Endless Sleep" was originally by Jody Reynolds, "Donna" by Ritchie Valens, "A Teenager In Love" by Dion and the Belmonts, "Sea Of Love" by Phil Phillips).
		Son Ricki Wilde also gained notice in the music industry.

		Wilde was still at the top of his game when, while appearing at Birkenhead in 1959, he was approached by a Liverpool singer-guitarist-songwriter named Ronald Wycherley, who was trying to get some original songs to Wilde and Parnes for their consideration.
		Wilde was enough of a star to perform in the London production of Bye Bye Birdie, but by 1963, when the Liverpool sound came along, he was effectively regarded as part of music's past.
		Meanwhile, Wilde himself never entirely gave up performing, and in the 1990s enjoyed a fresh wave of interest in his music in England, as audiences began to take stock of their surviving music heroes.

	Marty Wilde, Rockabilly Wildcat
		By the end of the week, Reginald Smith had become Marty Wilde, he'd had his teeth straightened, visited the best tailor in Saville Row, been fitted for hand-made shoes, shirts and ties, appeared at the exclusive Winston's night club and had had lunch with Josephine Douglas.
		Marty's hit records started in mid '58 with the release of "Endless Sleep", and by the end of '59, he'd charted with "Donna", "A Teenager In Love", "Sea Of Love" and "Bad Boy".
		By the early to mid-sixties, Marty had faded into obscurity, though he kept popping up on the odd TV and radio show and in the 70's, he even undertook to appear on some oldies rock 'n' roll package shows.

	MARTY WILDE
		Marty Wilde was propelled in the "all-round entertainer" direction, which in some ways was unfortunate.
		By then, Wilde had established himself as a chart regular with four more UK Top 10 hits during 1959, the first of which was his cover version of 'Donna' by Ritchie Valens, released in the spring of that year.
		The effect of Marty on TV screens throughout the country was quite overwhelming and brought forth avalanches of fan mail, telegrams, phone calls, etc. He immediately became a regular featured artist on this show and later on made many appearances on ABC TV's fabulously successful 'Oh Boy' programme.

		Initially, her synth-driven pop fit in with the new wave movement, but as the decade progressed, it became clear that her strength was mainstream pop.
		However, Wilde wasn't able to keep her momentum going and it wasn't until late 1986 that she had another hit with a dance cover of the Supremes' "You Keep Me Hangin' On," which charted in the Top Ten on both sides of the Atlantic.
		Wilde never had another hit in America, yet she was back in the charts in the summer of 1987 with "Another Step (Closer to You)," a duet with Junior Giscombe.

	Marty Wilde
		Marty's big break came with the advent of the UK's first rock and roll TV show, Jack Good's 'Six-5 Special', where his good singing voice made him a great asset.

		Marty Wilde married Vernons girl 'Joyce Baker' and later in the 1960s he created an unsuccessful trio with himself, Joyce, and Justin Hayward- the 'Wilde Three'.

	Kim Wilde - 80sxchange.com
		The foundation for Kim's musical career was laid in her own family: her father Marty Wilde was a 50s rock 'n' roll star and her mother Joyce used to sing in a band.
		In 1980, when Kim was nineteen, her father Marty had booked a studio to record a Country and Western album, which has always been one of his ambitions.
		Another surprise for Kim Wilde fans, probably more exiting than her new performances, was that the new compilation "The Very Best Of Kim Wilde", released by EMI in November 2001, contained a new song which Kim recorded earlier that year.

		Reg Smith was signed up, renamed Marty Wilde, and proved so popular on the subsequent package tour where he was booked, that it was no problem getting him on to television, and then signed to Philips Records.
		His subsequent recordings were all-but-invisible, although he enjoyed continued success in an offshoot field, as a composer: "Ice in the Sun" by Status Quo, "Jesamine" by the Casuals, and Lulu's recording of "I'm a Tiger" were three of his more notable hits as a songwriter.
		In the early 1980s, Wilde's daughter Kim Wilde emerged as a star vocalist in the burgeoning new wave field, and has enjoyed two decades of success.

		After three unsuccessful singles, Marty began a run of five consecutive UK top ten hits with a cover of Endless sleep (Jody Reynolds) in 1958.

		Marty had 13 hits from '58 to '62 and they're all here along with couple of self-penned tracks like "Tomorrow's Clown" and "Wild Cat".

		In the days of steam radio, those chaps at the BBC were rather unwilling to let American rock 'n' roll and RandB music loose on an unsuspecting British public.
		The album is quite a mixture and on Marty's last hit from '62 "Ever Since You Said Goodbye" the whole feel is very Cliff and the Shadows and the Bobby Vee sound comes in between with "Rubber Ball" and "Teenage Tears"
		Although without the angst of Fury Marty's output is nonetheless very worthy of a place in British Rock 'n' Roll history.
