Larry Page (born Leonard Davies, c 1938, Hayes, Middlesex) is an English former pop singer of the late 1950s and early 1960s, prominent prior to The Beatles.

Career

After changing his name to Larry Page in honour of Larry Parks, the star of The Jolson Story, the teenager began a brief recording career [1]. Page tried to magnify his fame by the adopted green color of his hair, the wearing of unusually large spectacles, and self-promotion as "Larry Page the Teenage Rage". He also became a successful manager, record producer and record label owner. Much of his producer/manager success was based in the 1960s, centering primarily on his efforts with The Kinks and The Troggs, and his ownership of Page One Records and Penny Farthing Records.

Page is also credited with introducing Sonny and Cher to the UK.

As of the 2000s, Page has been reported as living in Avoca Beach, New South Wales, Australia and frequenting Gandhi, an Indian restaurant on Ettalong Beach.

Page has been involved in producing the song for Chelsea Football Club in the UK. The Song is called Blue Is The Colour
