Adam Faith, What do you want?

Adam Faith, What Do You Want?
The arrival of American rock and roll music in the latter half of the 50s brought considerable shockwaves to the
rather staid and predictable British music scene. Many of the recording artists who had previously reigned
supreme in the fledgling pop chart, were swept away in the tide to be replaced by a new generation of popular
music performers like Adam Faith who were quick to capitalise on this new popular demand for rock and roll. Not least among these new musical ’upstarts’ was the West London-born Adam Faith who kicked off his lengthy chart career with the catchy What Do You Want? and became one of the most popular performers of the day, with 24 chart entries, before eventually diversifying into acting and management, among other various lucrative activities.

 Our second nostalgic visit to the 1950s Light Music back-catalogue revives further tunes that were once part-and-parcel of radio listeners’ average daily fare.
