Description
Topping the UK charts with his very first 45, "What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For" which became one of the first records to sell a million copies in the UK alone, before going on to become a major international hit, was Emile Ford, Britain's first major black pop/R&R star.
His highly regarded backing group, The Checkmates - who included his brothers George and Dave - were the first multi-racial beat combo in the UK and together they charted numerous times, notably with: "On a Slow Boat To China"; "Red Sails In The Sunset"; "You'll Never Know What You're Missin'"; "Them There Eyes"; "Counting Teardrops"; "What Am I Gonna Do"; "Half Of My Heart" and "I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now".
With a dozen singles, two LPs, two EPs, and a handful of collectors rarities and all of his UK hits this is another must have from Jasmine!
