Tommy Steele
View through Europeana Collections
A lad from the East End of London who a few months ago was playing his guitar to Espresso bar crowds is setting the feet of peers and debs tapping with his rock ' n roll numbers in the Swanky Cafe de Paris . The name of its 19-year-old youngster whose records have jumped into the top ten of the hit parade in recent month is a Tommy Steele . His fee for his fortnight at the Cafe? £1,000 - almost £2 a minute. And it's not so long ago that he thought himself well off if he drew a wage package of £15 a - week .
PICTURE SHOWS:- Jump to it and get into the groove . That's Tommy's message as he livens up the Cafe de Paris proceedings with a catchy rock ' n roll tune , accompanied by his Steele men .
