An English actress, singer and entertainer.Best known in Britain as a singer and entertainer, Harris

An English actress, singer and entertainer.Best known in Britain as a singer and entertainer, Harris sang with the Cliff Adams Singers, and she then had a number of chart hits in the 1960s. She became known as a variety entertainer, and appeared in a number of the Carry On films, notably Follow That Camel and Carry on Doctor.[1]Harris's musical career began as a child, although her expectations were to become a dancer. Soon after leaving school she left the UK to train as a choreographed skater in Las Vegas. Even today this would be unusual, but in the 1950s it was an exceptional experience. However, her first significant professional engagement in the UK was as a singer - briefly as one of the few ladies to sing with the Cliff Adams Singers. These were choralists who were to enjoy a long run with BBC Radio's Sing Something Simple. Harris was still in her teens when she cut her first recording - with the John Barry Seven - a band who, at that time, were at the most active part of their own pop chart career. This early single did not succeed.

Was an eighteenth-century English musician and singer. She was famous in her own era for the scandal that attended her struggle to perform in public, and her biography illustrates the circumstances of talented and ambitious women in traditional societies before the modern era.As a young woman, Anne Ford was well-educated and multi-lingual, speaking five languages, and also a talented singer and musician: she played several instruments, most notably the English guitar, an instrument like a lute, and the viol da gamba. Her father, Thomas Ford, allowed her to present Sunday concerts at their home, but refused to allow her to perform publicly. In her early twenties she tried to evade her father's authority in response. Her earliest attempts were unsuccessful; her father went so far as to have her arrested twice to prevent her escaping his control. Eventually she made a successful escape, and held her first public subscription concert on March 18, 1760. She performed a series of subsequent concerts, including daily performances from Oct. 24 through Oct. 30 of that year, though her playing of the "masculine" instrument the viol da gamba, comparable to a modern cello, was considered another point of controversy and scandal.
