    John Dudley Leyton (born 17 February 1936)[1] is an English retired actor and singer.

    Leyton as a singer is best known for his hit song "Johnny Remember Me" (written by Geoff Goddard and produced by Joe Meek),[2] which reached number one in the UK Singles Chart in August 1961 despite being banned by the BBC for its death references.[3] His follow-up single, "Wild Wind", reached number two in the same chart.
