Davey Page - "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen"


Artist: Davey Page
Label: Atlantic Records
Cat No: 100028
Year Of Release: 1975
Produced and Arranged by: Jeff Wilkes

Davey Page was an indigenous teen idol in Brisbane in the mid-70's, and he recorded this Neil Sedaka cover at the age of 13.  
He was also the second Brisbane musician to sign with the Atlantic label in Australia, the first being Marcie Jones as a solo act after Marcie & The Cookies disbanded.  Very sweet and pleasant cover, and he went on to release a glam rock single as the follow up "We Like Music Together".
Davey went on to become a well known and respected theatre star in Australia, before sadly passing away from cancer in 2016.
