The group recorded four tracks but these were not commercially released. On his discharge from the Merchant Navy in 1963 he returned to Harefield and played in a number of local bands, including Generation X (not to be confused with the punk rock band from the late 70s, fronted by Billy Idol) from mid-1965 until about October 1966. In his mid-teens he joined the Merchant Navy, and got a tiger's head tattooed on his right arm during his Navy service. Career Early career Īt the age of 12, Connolly moved to Harefield, Greater London, where he attended the local secondary modern school. Connolly has credited the Everly Brothers as being his earliest musical influence. In a radio interview, Connolly reported that singing was a large part of growing up since there was no television, and that he was regularly called upon to sing for family and friends. Both men perceived a resemblance between them, and supposed McManus's father to have also been Connolly's. The McManuses were the family of Mark McManus, of Taggart fame. After inadvertently discovering his lineage, he eventually reverted to the name Connolly. Connolly was fostered at the age of two by Jim and Helen McManus of Blantyre, South Lanarkshire and took their family name. The identity of his father was never made public. His mother was a teenage waitress, Frances Connolly, who left him in a Glasgow hospital as an infant whilst he was possibly suffering from meningitis. I´d talk much more abut her voice if have more videos,but her first single “Wuthering Heights” is awesome,perfect in every single way.Connolly was born in 1945 in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire. This is a collection of rare demos,but just high notes.No studio effects,just her skills as vocalist.Perfect! This is the most accepted Kate Bush´s vocal range,registering 4,5 octaves (Bb1-F7) as Lyrical Coloratura Soprano.I agree about this classification because she can sing as three different singers(Cindy Lauper,Sarah Brightman and Annie Lennox).Time has passed by and her voice have changed and this video shows many shots from different times of her carreer.The fact of she reaches the 7th octave makes true she´s a coloratura Soprano,but she also reaches the 1st(some baritones don´t to that),some people she´s a Dramatic Soprano.I´d say she moved from Lyrical Coloratura to Dramatic Coloratura Soprano over the years.
