Leslie James Fyson (13 July 1923 - 26 October 1996) was an opera singer who was credited on a top 5 hit in the UK singles chart in 1958.
[2] On demob he took up studies once more at the Guildhall School of Music, and his tenor style attracted him to Jani Strasser, the chief vocal coach of the Glyndebourne Operatic Company, resulting in small roles at the Glyndebourne Festival Opera for several years; he made his debut as a servant in Un ballo in maschera by Giuseppe Verdi in 1949.
[4] His last known broadcast was appearing in the Gilbert and Sullivan opera Patience; or, Bunthorne's Bride on BBC Radio 2 in October 1989.
[5] Fyson's one chart success was as one of the quartet singing the theme tune to The Army Game, although he did not appear in the series; he opened the recording with an impression of a stereotypical sergeant-major,[6] and was given a credit.
He appeared on another charting disc, providing vocals to the track "I Like You" on the Donovan album Cosmic Wheels, in 1973.
