British pop and classical crossover artist David Garrick was born Philip Darryl Core in Liverpool in 1946. His school choir master discovered his singing talents, characterised by a rich powerful voice which extended beyond two octaves, and David was encouraged by his choir master to take up traditional opera singing. However, the British pop rock scene of the swinging sixties proved too tempting, and David achieved almost instant success with his first recording, "Dear Mrs Applebee", in 1966.

Quotes

  • Corrupted freemen are the worst of slaves.
  • Their cause I plead,—plead it in heart and mind;A fellow-feeling makes one wondrous kind.
  • Prologues like compliments are loss of time;’T is penning bows and making legs in rhyme.
  • Let others hail the rising sun:I bow to that whose course is run.
  • This scholar, rake, Christian, dupe, gamester, and poet.
  • Heart of oak are our ships,Heart of oak are our men;We always are ready.
