Jackie Dennis.
The kilt-wearing, spiky-haired Scottish pop singer, also known as The Kilted
Choirboy and Britain's Ricky Nelson. "La Dee Dah" was his biggest UK
hit, reaching number 4 in the UK Singles Chart in 1958, whilst his cover of
Sheb Wooley's "Purple People Eater" was his second and final UK hit,
peaking at number 29. In 1958 he recorded three more singles, all on Decca with
accompaniment directed by Harry Robinson (Lord Rockingham's XI)*. Jackie also
performed with Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens on the popular music programme Oh
Boy!
In 1959 Dennis recorded the last single, on Top
Rank. (wiki)
By the early 60s, musical tastes were changing and Jackie found it difficult to break free of the cocky Scottish image.

One
more single appears in Jackie’s Discography: The Wee Cooper O' Fife / Come Along (1959, Decca F 11120) There is no evidence that he really
recorded such single, Decca F 11120 exists but it is Mike
Preston’s single.
