Heinz - Don't worry baby (1965)

Heinz - don't worry baby.Heinz was born in Detmold, but from the age of seven was brought up in Eastleigh, Hampshire, England. Working in a Southampton grocery shop Heinz came to the attention of record producer, Joe Meek becoming his protégé. Meek styled Heinz' image which included persuading him to peroxide his hair. Heinz was a member of the the Tornados famous for their multi-million selling hit Telstar. With Meek in love with Heinz he struggled to launch him on a solo career. Due to the inadeqacies of Heinz' voice, his vocals were over-dubbed on his first single Dreams Do Come True by another singer, the single being a commercial failure. With Meek vigorously promoting Heinz, he was sent on a tour with Gene Vincent and Jerry Lee Lewis. Audiences did not take to him and he was attacked on stage and had beans thrown over him. His next and biggest selling solo hit was "Just Like Eddie", a tribute to Eddie Cochran. Its success coincided with the emergance of The Beatles and was the high point of of commercial success for Heinz. Two successful EPs, Heinz and Live It Up, followed and 1963 he appeared in the British music-film Live It Up!, with music produced by Meek, in which he acted the role of Ron and also contributed a song. Following a well received tour with Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas and Bobby Rydell, Heinz was seen as belonging to an era of Rock and Roll as the more modern Merseybeat became more popular. He covered the Bob Dylan song Don't Think Twice, It's Alright which was another commercial failure and even a move from the Decca label to EMI saw him gain a minor hit with Diggin' My Potatoes. Differences of a professional and personal level with Meek appeared and with Heinz introducing his girlfriend to Meek their relationship faltered. Although he had lived briefly in Meek's flat further disagreements over royalties saw him move out leaving some possessions behind including a shotgun. It was this shotgun with which Meek killed his landlady and then himself in 1967, and although Heinz was questioned by police they they concluded he had nothing to do with their deaths. Meek's death ended Heinz's recording career as a solo artist and he worked outside the music industry including in advertising at a local newspaper, The Dagenham Post. Although often dismissed as a mediocre talent pushed into the spotlight by Meek, he was an enthusiastic performer and worked in pantomime and theatre in the 1970s. In later years he appeared in 1960s revival shows and continued performing until the end; his last set was from a wheelchair at a social club two weeks before his death. He was initially backed by the Saints. His later backing group (The Wild Ones or the Wild Boys) featured Ritchie Blackmore and Mick Underwood amongst others. Blackmore performed on "Just Like Eddie". Heinz performed at the London Rock and Roll Show in 1972, with John B. Sparkes and Wilko Johnson of Dr Feelgood in his backing band. Crippled by motor neuron disease, Heinz died in 2000, aged 57.
