... that the Liverpool Echo described
Tommy Steele, considered Britain's first
rock and roll star, as "quite unable to sing and play the guitar at the same time" when reviewing his first album? Source: Writing under his pseudonym Disker in the Liverpool Echo,
Tony Barrow described Steele as "full of life" and noted that the entertainer "never seems embarrassed by the most hard-boiled audiences", but opined "apart from his exuberance he has nothing. It is apparent that he is quite unable to sing and play the guitar at the same time. In the case of many of his numbers I would even go further and say he cannot sing without or without a guitar." He concluded that "the fact remains that he is still a scream-agers' delight and Decca will probably get away with this album."[1]

Comment: This is my first nomination, so please let me know if there is anything I can improve.
Clear at 100px: - Picture needs a cropped in version since the subjects aren't very discernable from the 100px thumbnail.
QPQ: None required.
Overall: Overall looks very good, just commenting about minor issues otherwise! (This is my first DYK nomination so please inform me if I miss anything crucial!)

@
Theknine2 Thank you for reviewing this. Regarding the lack of positive or neutral reviews, I've looked in Google Books, Newspapers.com, WorldRadioHistory archive but the two quoted in the article are the only two reviews I can find at all. The album doesn't have an AllMusic review unfortunately. If you have any suggestions, let me know - I'm more than happy to make some alternative hooks. I've made a crop of the image, but if it's not suitable I can amend it. Thank you!
