Whitfield was born in Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire. He sang in the choir at his church during his childhood and entertained his fellow members of the Royal Navy during the Second World War. After the war, he stayed in the navy until June 1950 having had a long spell in Singapore where he broadcast on radio. He appeared on Opportunity Knocks, a talent show on Radio Luxembourg on April 30, 1950, and won that round. He subsequently appeared on the all-winners show on May 21, 1950, singing "Good-Bye" from White Horse Inn. This led to his joining the touring stage show of "Opportunity Knocks" hosted by Hughie Green for a while. After leaving the navy, he had taken a job in a cement factory but in 1953 he was given the opportunity to sing in a West-end cabaret at the Washington Hotel, Curzon St., London where he was a great success. This led to a variety stage tour.In total, we tracked 112 items since 01/09/2012. The chart below shows the trade volume over time.
