Charlie Drake, was an English comedian, actor, writer and singer. Drake made a number of records, most of them produced by George Martin for the Parlophone label. The first, “Splish Splash”, a cover version of a rock and roll song originally recorded by Bobby Darin, got into the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart, reaching number 7 in 1958. An edited version of “My Boomerang Wont Come Back”, became a mid-chart (No. 14 UK charts), following on from “Mr. Custer” (No. 12 UK charts) hit.
