  2. Jackie Dennis - Scotland's First Pop Star

Jun 29, 2020

The 11th edition of 'Lifestory' is centred around the wonderful Jackie Dennis, Scotland's first ever pop star, who rocketed to fame in 1958 at the tender age of 15.  Known as 'The Lilt With the Kilt' and 'The Golden Kid', Jackie signed a huge £50000 deal, hitting the charts with 'La Dee Dah' and 'The Purple People Eater' and rubbing shoulders with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Junior, Buddy Holly, Dusty Springfield and many more in a short but glittering showbiz career.  Jackie takes us back to those crazy days in conversation with Jack Gillon and David McLean.
