Autograph note signed: "To Pete/Best of
luck/Dickie/Valentine", in blue ink, 6½x5. Britain's Top Male Singing
Personality Dickie Valentine. Dickie Valentine (born Richard Maxwell,
1929-1971) was an English pop singer, popular in the 1950's with such
singles as "Finger of Suspicion" (1954) and "Christmas Alphabet" (1955).
Valentine began as a child actor, appearing in film when he was just three
years old in Jack's The Boy (1932). It was during his time as a
child actor that he developed his singing skills, and would pursue this career
more so than his acting. He was signed in 1949 to join Ted Heath and His
Music, and was nominated in 1952 as the UK Top Male Vocalist. He often did
impersonations of other famous musicians and actors during his shows, making him
a hit with fans and often having him top billed at venues. He landed two shows
during his prime, the series Calling Dickie Valentine (1961) and the
sketch show The Dickie Valentine Show (1966). Unfortunately,
Valentine died in 1971 as the driver in a fatal car crash. Hand decorated. Left
edge worn. Fine condition.
