Frankie Vaughan (1928 - 1999) was born in Liverpool and enjoyed a long career as a pop singer both in the UK and the US. He started out in variety theatre in the 1940s, progressed to film and TV appearances and made a large number of very successful recordings in the 1950s and 60s. He is perhaps best remembered for his signature tune Give Me the Moonlight , cover versions of US hits such as Green Door and his appearances at the London Palladium Talk of the Town . Frankie Vaughan also carried out significant charitable work on social projects for which he received an OBE in 1965 and a CBE in 1997. He was an Honorary Fellow of Liverpool John Moores University.
