about
Born John Bertram Lynton in Shepperton, Middlesex on February 27th 1940 Jackie Lynton got bitten by the Rock & Roll bug early on – his first idol was Elvis. Backed initially by the Plect-Tones - including guitarist Roger Brown (who later turned up in Mike Berry’s Innocents, and would go on to be the founder member of Stealer’s Wheel in the 70’s) and future keyboards wizard Mike Pinder; the band soon changed name to the Teenbeats. Jackie established a residency at the famous Two I’s Coffee Bar in Soho (and Two I’s proprietor Tom Littlewood took over as his first professional manager). On the Larry Parnes one nighters / package tour circuit, he worked alongside early rockers like Billy Fury, Vince Taylor & the playboys, Wee Willie Harris, Terry Dene, Lance Fortune, Screaming Lord Sutch & his Savages, Nero & the Gladiators, John Leyton, Freddie Star & the Midnighters etc. etc. Radio sessions on Saturday club and Music with a Beat followed and signing to Pye’s new Piccadilly label. His first disc – a Tony Hatch produced revival of Over The Rainbow. Hailed by New Musical Express as a “Most Promising Newcomer”, Jackie was given an original song to tackle for his second single: Les Read & Johnny Worth (aka Les Vandyke)’s “Wishful Thinking”. “All Of Me” his next release, issued in August 1962, was a landmark disc in that it marked the recording debut of Albert Lee, one of the UK’s most talented and enduring blues guitarists; Albert continued to work with Jack until 1965.
