AS YOU READ THIS BLOG, AN AMAZING COINCIDENCE KEEPS HAPPENING ABOUT THE YEAR 1958! THIS WAS THE YEAR SO MANY FAMOUS PEOPLE WERE BORN: MICHAEL JACKSON, MADONNA, BELINDA CARLISLE, KATE BUSH, PRINCE, DEREK REDFERN AND ME… (LOL)!DEREK REDFERN WAS BORN 9 SEPTEMBER 1958 LIVERPOOL ENGLAND. HIS BROTHER JAMIE STARTED FIRST ON THE “YOUNG TALENT TEAM” SHOW - THE POPULAR VARIETY SHOW STARRING JOHNNY YOUNG. WHEN JAMIE WENT AWAY TO WORK IN AMERICA WITH LIBERACE, DEREK REPLACED HIM ON THE SHOW. DEREK RELEASED HIS OWN SINGLE NOT LONG AFTER. THE SINGLE WAS “PUT YOUR HEAD ON MY SHOULDER” WHICH WAS AN OLDIE THAT APPEALED TO THE GRANNY SET. IT GOT TO #19 IN 1974.
“PUT YOUR HEAD ON MY SHOULDER” WAS WRITTEN BY PAUL ANKA AND HAS BEEN RECORDED BY NUMEROUS PEOPLE BEFORE 1974. APPARENTLY 4 YEARS AFTER DEREK’S VERSION, LEIF GARRETT WHO WAS ALWAYS ON COUNTDOWN, MADE A SIMILAR ARRANGEMENT OF THE SONG AND HAD A #58 HIT IN THE U.S.A.
