19 mimeographed pp., secured with split pin to top left. Tear to final page, amendments and markings throughout, a little dusty and age-toned. First edition. A Johnnie Ray Special. JOHNNIE RAY'S COPY, WITH HIS NAME TO TITLE PAGE AND HIS LINES UNDERLINED IN RED THROUGHOUT. Johnnie Ray [1927-1990] was the singing sensation of the early 1950s, taking the baton from Frank Sinatra and handing it to Elvis Presley. His unbuttoned style, the hair-tearing and the dropping to his knees, anticipated the stage shows of, among many others, James Brown and Little Richard, and his emotionally supercharged singing style opened the door for rock and roll itself. And yet if he's remembered at all today it's for the mention he gets in two later songs. In Billy Joel's late-20th century roll-call We Didn't Start The Fire Ray is the fourth person to be lname-checked, and in Dexy's Midnight Runners' Come On Eileen a couplet is devoted to him: 'Poor old Johnnie Ray sounded sad upon the radio / He moved a million hearts in Mono.' Two convictions for homosexual soliciting bookended his career, which was over by 1959; he was Judy Garland's best man at her wedding ten years later; he died of cirrhosis of the liver at the age of 53. And he was almost deaf -- the device you can see in most of his performances on YouTube isn't a studio earpiece, it's a hearing aid. If you can't place him, may we recommend YouTube. He's phenomenal. Ray was in town to film an edition of Sunday Night At The London Palladium, and recorded this show during his visit. This episode of Show Band Show also featured Alfred Marks, Bert Weedon, and was compered by Rikki Fulton. It was pre-recorded on 2 May 1955 for transmission later the same day, and as well as appearing in a short sketch at the end of the show, Johnnie Ray sang Alexander's Ragtime Band, As Time Goes By, Flip Flop And Fly and If You Believe. His script is neatly marked up, with his name written in red and underlined twice on the title page, and his musical numbers are ticked in the running order. Very rare, redolent of its time, and absolutely beautiful.
