Malcolm Vaughan

Malcolm Vaughan (born Malcolm James Thomas; 22 March 1929 – 9 February 2010) Ridley encouraged Vaughan to record popular ballads of the day and Vaughan had his first hit with "Ev'ry Day of My Life" in 1955. The song reached No. 5 in the UK Singles Chart.

The rise in popularity of rock and roll saw a dramatic change in musical tastes, and unlike many of his contemporaries, Vaughan's musical career barely survived into the 1960s. However, he continued to act, mostly doing theatre work, and his music continues to be played on the radio.

He died, at the age of 80, on 9 February 2010 in Eastbourne, East Sussex, England. He is survived by his widow, Gay (née Hands), and two sons, Daryl Earle Haydn Samuel (born 1957) and Damon Charles Michael (born 1963).
