Terence Perkins (born 13 August 1941)[1] known professionally as Craig Douglas, is an English pop singer, who was popular in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
[citation needed] Voted Best New Singer in 1959 in the British music magazine NME,[4] Douglas went on to record eight cover versions of former American hit songs, in his total of nine Top 40 UK singles.
Amongst that tally, Douglas had a Number One single in 1959 with "Only Sixteen", which easily outsold Sam Cooke's original version in the UK.
[5] He topped the bill on the Beatles' first major stage show, although their emergence ultimately spelt the end of Douglas's chart career.
John Leyton, Mike Berry and the Flames all took part, while Jet Harris and other celebrities attended.
