Frederick Heath

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frederick Heath best known as Johnny Kidd, was an English singer and songwriter, who was the front man for the rock band, Johnny Kidd and the Pirates. He was one of the pre-Beatles British rock and rollers to achieve worldwide fame.

Kidd's most famous song was "Shakin' All Over" which was covered by The Who on the classic Live at Leeds album. (This song was also a hit single for the similarly-named Canadian band, The Guess Who, who are entirely unrelated to The Who.)

Heath was born on 23 December 1939 in Willesden, London, and died 7 October 1966, in a motor car accident near Bury, Lancashire.
