Tommy SANDS

Chanteur US né le 27 août 1937, originaire de Chicago (Illinois), Tommy Sands n'avait pas plus de 20 ans lorsque NBC l'engagea pour être la vedette de l'émission "The Singing Idol",. Tommy fut l'époux de Nancy Sinatra pendant cinq ans et il avait débuté à 12 ans comme Disc-Jockey dans une station de radio de Houston (Texas). Il fut considéré comme un chanteur de Rock 'n' Roll pour son album "Sands Storm" qui dégageait de l'énergie avec ses versions de "Maybellene, Hey Miss Fanny, Such A Night, etc...". Il avait le même producteur, Ken Nelson, que Gene Vincent et Wanda Jackson et a enregistré chez Capitol Records.
