		He was born John Vivian McVea, and learned banjo from his father, Isaac (Satchel) McVea, a musician who had been the first fl host of a radio show in Los Angeles in the 1920s.
		McVea’s hit with ‘Open The Door, Richard’ in 1947, written in collaboration with its original creators, Dusty Fletcher and John Mason, and Dan Howell, sparked numerous cover versions, and ensured that he would remain in demand.
