 Who is Tommy Steele?

Tommy Steele was originally born Thomas Hicks on December 17, 1936, in Bermondsey, London.

The multi-talented star is a singer, actor and a writer.

He earned a top-20 hit with his debut release, Rock With The Caveman in 1956, the same year Elvis Presley made his UK debut.

The connection between the two doesn't end there, however, as the teen idol sensationally claimed he gave Elvis his only tour of London in 1958 after it was previously assumed the heartbreaker's only visit to these shores was in Scotland.
