Ronnie Hilton (1926-2001) was an English popular singer.
Hilton was born Adrian Hill on 26th January 1926 in Hull. After various jobs, in 1948 he married Joan Conyer, who encouraged him to try professional singing. He won a competition in Leeds, and made a record in 1953, followed by “I Believe’, which reached number two in the U.K. charts; Hilton became one of the most popular British singers of the 1950s. He had further hits with ‘Vene Vidi Vice”, ‘Stars Shine in Your Eyes’, ‘The Yellow Rose of Texas’, and ‘Young and Foolish’. In 1956 his ‘No Other Love’ reached number one (holding Elvis Presley from that position for some weeks), and in 1959 he again reached number one with ‘Wonder of You’. With the advent of the 1960s his popularity waned, although he did achieve a million seller in 1965 with ‘A Windmill in Old Amsterdam’. He continued to perform in variety shows, although a stroke in 1976 held him back for a while. He died in Hailsham, East Sussex, on 21st July 2001....
