Vincent Hill was born in Holbrooks, Coventry, on 16 April 1934. He first sang professionally in a public house called The Prospect in Margate, Kent, when he was 17 years old. He decided to become a full-time musician after working as a baker, truck driver and coal miner.
His first lucky break as a singer came when he read an advert in Melody Maker magazine, which said The Band of the Royal Corps of Signals needed a vocalist. He travelled to Catterick camp in Yorkshire where the band was based, did the audition, and got the job. This offered Hill a way to do his National Service as well as experience performing all around the world. After completing his military service, he toured with the musical Florodora, and he then became a singer with Teddy Foster's Band, a big band based in London. At the beginning of the 1960s, Hill joined the critically acclaimed British vocal group, The Raindrops, which gave him his first opportunity to perform in television and radio shows, especially on the BBC radio show Parade of the Pops. The Raindrops also had in its ranks Jackie Lee, Len Beadle and Johnny Worth. Read even more about Vince Hill at Wikipedia
