Chick Henderson (singer)

Chick Henderson (22 November 1912 – 24 June 1944) was an English singer who achieved great popularity and acclaim as a prolific recording artist and performer at the tail end of the British dance band era in the late 1930s and early 1940s.

He stayed with Loss for five years and became a great favourite among young women who formed his core audience.

A tall, handsome man with a rich, strong vocal delivery, he appeared on postcards and magazine covers.

Less than a year following the start of World War II in September 1939, he began serving in the Merchant Navy.

He survived two torpedo attacks on his ships, but after four years of service, sustained fatal wounds in Southsea from flying bomb shrapnel.
