Brain dead MUG SHEEP
Allan Smethurst (November 19, 1927 - December 23, 2000), aka The Singing Postman was an English postman and singer.
Smethurst was raised in Sheringham, Norfolk, although he may have been born in Lancashire.[1][2] His mother came from the village of Stiffkey.
Smethurst hummed tunes on his daily post round for many years, before writing and singing songs in his native Norfolk dialect in the 1950s. An audition tape sent to the BBC earned him a spot on Ralph Tuck's local radio show, and Tuck promoted Smethurst under his own record label, "The Smallest Recording Organisation in the World".
In 1966, the Singing Postman's best known hit "Hev Yew Gotta Loight, Boi?" won Smethurst the Ivor Novello Award for best novelty song of the year. The hit knocked the Beatles from the top of the East Anglia hit parade and remained in the charts for nine weeks. The song had a small comeback in 1994 when it was featured on a television commercial for Ovaltine.
After appearing on The Des O'Connor Show, he signed with EMI and went on to record over 80 songs. He quit the music business in 1970.
Smethurst died in December 2000 after living the last twenty years of his life in a Salvation Army hostel in Grimsby.
