A tragic end to a talented singer
This is a tragic tale involving Rory Storm who was an English musician and vocalist. He was born in 1938 as Alan Caldwell in Liverpool but took the name Storm and became the singer and leader of a Liverpool band known as Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. Actually one of the Beatles Ringo Starr was the drummer for the Hurricanes before he met the other three.
Even though Rory Storm and the Hurricanes were a very popular act in the clubs of Liverpool and Hamburg, Germany they were not successful in their recording career. In the early 60s they released two singles but neither one made the charts. One of their singles was a version of a song from the movie West Side Story “America”.
