BIO
After being discovered at a Steveston, BC, talent show at the tender age of fourteen singing “Pretty Blue Eyes”, mister Blake had a hit record in North America with “ I Only Want To Be With You”—the Ivor Raymond-penned song that was a hit in the UK with the late Dusty Springfield. Sadly, his fame was short-lived as he became a victim of the very men entrusted with his career.
