Chanteur
Rock 'n' Roll US né le 20 Juin 1937 à Fort Smith (Arkansas).
Born 20
June 1938 in Fort Smith, Arkansas, USA. After moving to Tulsa in 1944 Keller
formed the Lads Of Note Quartet in the 50s before joining the Tulsa Boy Singers.
He won a talent contest organized by band leader Horace Heidt which earned him
the vocalist job with Jack Dalton’s Orchestra. He then spent nine months as a
disc jockey in Tulsa before moving to New York in 1956. He recorded a series of
demos for record companies before fellow performer Pat Boone introduced him to
Marty Mills who became his manager. Keller recorded the self-penned ‘Here Comes
Summer’ for the Kapp record label, and it became a US summer hit in 1959.
Ironically it only entered the UK charts in late August as the warmer months
lapsed into autumn, but it still went to number 1. Follow-ups such as ‘If I Had
A Girl’, and ‘Now Now Now’ failed to repeat the success. In 1960, he toured the
UK replacing Eddie Cochran in a package tour engagement after Cochran had died
in a car crash. Despite the lack of subsequent hits as a singer, his songs
charted handsomely for artists such as Andy Williams and the Cyrkle. In 1977, he
appeared in the film You Light Up My Life and the following year in If I Ever
See You Again.
