Chanteur Rock 'n' Roll
Britannique né Terence Williams, le 20
Décembre 1938 à
Londres.
British
Rock 'n' Roll Singer. Terry Dene (born Terence
Williams) was one of the most promising rock & rollers of pre-Beatles England.
With a recording contract with Decca UK and a regular spot on BBC-TV's first pop
television show, Six 5 Special, Dene seemed to be on the verge of stardom. His
first three singles reached the British Top 20. Dene's potential for success was
severely damaged, however, by a series of self-imposed mishaps. Arrested for
public drunkenness and vandalism in 1958, Dene was cited by the British media as
an example of the "evil" of rock & roll. His mental health was considered to
have plummeted after being drafted into the British national service. Discharged
on psychological grounds after two months, he found his career in ruins.
Although he appeared in a film, The Golden Disc, and joined Larry Parnes' stable
of stars, he was unable to recapture the momentum and faded from the pop scene.
Turning to religion, Dene became a street-singing evangelist, recording three
albums of gospel music. He spent the early '70s residing in Sweden. Dene has
unsuccessfully attempted several comebacks. In 1974, he released a book and
album, I Thought Terry Dene Was Dead, and began to perform with a rock band, the
Dene Aces, featuring Brian Gregg, composer of the classic rock tune "Shakin' All
Over," in the 1980s. He released an album, The Real Terry Dene, in 1997. A
native of London, Dene was heavily influenced by the early recordings of
Elvis Presley and
Gene Vincent. Performing at the 2i's Coffee Bar, the London club that helped
to launch the careers of
Tommy Steele,
Cliff Richard, and
Adam Faith, he caught the attention of British record producer Jack Good,
who helped him to obtain a contract with Decca UK. Although he wrote very few
songs, Dene was a master interpreter, scoring with covers of
Marty Robbins' "A White Sport Coat (And a Pink Carnation)" and "The Stairway
of Love" and Sal Mineo's "Start Movin'." Dene was briefly married to British
songstress Edna Savage.
