I could find nothing about them. The world thinks he disappeared. Clearly, Les’ later years need more illumination. I could find nothing about them. The world thinks he disappeared.

What a pity this guy disappeared for the best part of 30 years. I have lived in Germany since 1967 and of course lived through the whole Les Humphries Singers experience. You had to have been there to realise just how big they were. I mean, nearly 50 Million records in under 5 years is not to be sniffed at. I ran a company in Germany called Prism Leisure and one of our products was a Les Humphries CD released in the mid 90's. It contained some re-recordings. I actually had Les' telephone number in UK but never plucked up the courage to phone. I probably would have sounded like a groupie! I have tried to find any interviews by Les but to no avail. Does anybody know of any? He was a star! John Kellas Bad Sassendorf Germany Hi,
