| | Tony Jackson |
 | | It was left to Tony Hatch, then artist and repertoire chief of Pye Records, effectively the third biggest label, to sign the Searchers. |
 | | It was Jackson, who has died aged 63, who provided the high-pitched singing that helped propel "Sweets For My Sweet" to #1, on August 8 1963, the day of the great train robbery. |
 | | Born in the Liverpool suburb of Dingle, Jackson was one of many British teenagers who fell under the spell of Lonnie Donegan's 1956 skiffle hit "Rock Island Line". |
