An insight into the man behind an extraordinary legend. Written and introduced by ALAN DELL ' I've read so many varied reports written by doctors, by psychiatrists, by psychologists, and they ranged from the fact that the youngsters were rooting for the boy next door all the way to a sex symbol. But I really have no specific answer. I just think that a crooner or a troubadour - let's put it that way - has been the symbol of entertainment that people have been attracted to for many years. I think they've admired anyone who can get up and sing a love song.' Produced by JOHN KNIGHT
