Actor/singer/director Mike Sarne carved a peculiar niche for himself in the British rock & roll of the pre-<a href="spotify:artist:3WrFJ7ztbogyGnTHbHJFl2">Beatles</a> era. Born Michael Scheur, and of part-German descent, he acted in a few movies at the dawn of the '60s. His multilingual skills not only served him as an actor but brought him into the music industry -- Sarne was responsible for providing the phonetic transcriptions that were used to guide such singers as <a href="spotify:artist:7oht1HPKaMDnuALYWZHgtV">John Leyton</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:7rtLZcKWGV4eaZsBwSKimf">Billy Fury</a> in cutting German versions of their hits for that market. Sarne, who also played guitar and sang, was signed by <a href="spotify:artist:7oht1HPKaMDnuALYWZHgtV">Leyton</a>'s manager, Robert Stigwood. In 1962 he enjoyed a novelty hit, "Tell Me What," recorded in tandem with <a href="spotify:artist:1q2Kk9h9z2RAOMtYmH37XW">Billie Davis</a> (another Stigwood discovery). His subsequent singles included "Come Outside," "Just for Kicks," and "Code of Love." Since the early '60s, Sarne has concentrated largely on his screen career. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi
