Timeline
Rory Blackwell (22 June 1933 – 19 December 2019) was an English rock and roll musician, bandleader of The Blackjacks, singer, drummer and songwriter.
Blackwell was born in Battersea, London.
He founded the first British rock and roll band, and put on rock and roll at Studio 51 in September 1956.
Blackwell fronted him at the Razzle Dazzle Club, in which Dene was billed as "the new singing sensation Terry Williams".
Blackwell and his Blackjacks starred in the 1957 film Rock You Sinners.
In 1959, Blackwell spotted the 16-year-old pianist Clive Powell (Georgie Fame) in a summer holiday camp in Wales, where he offered him a job as a piano player with The Blackjacks.
After the season ended, Powell left, as new opportunities arose.
Blackwell also performed "Bony Moronie", "Red Roses", "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast", "Great Balls of Fire", and "Rory's Rock", then toured Europe and the UK with stars from the US.
During the 1960s, Blackwell worked with the young bassist Nick Simper, who later joined Johnny Kidd's band and went on to become one of the founding members of Deep Purple.
He attempted many world records for charity, mainly involving feats of longevity or speed on musical instruments.
Many of these appeared in Guinness World Records editions, but musical feats are no longer featured in the same quantity as they were previously.
In 1968, Rory Blackwell's 1968 Rock'n'roll Show Live (EMI/Parlophone) was released, with the tracks "Let's Have a Party", "Rock Around the Clock", "Great Balls of Fire", "Be Bop a Lula", "Shake Rattle and Roll", "Hound Dog", "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On", "Bony Moronie", "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Rory's Rock".
After the launching of the Apollo 11 in 1969, Blackwell wrote and released the orchestral piece Apollo 11 : Sea of Tranquility (EMI/Parlophone).
In 1978, another Blackwell album was released, called The Two Sides of Rory Blackwell (Ellie Jay Records).
Tracks included "Bony Moronie", "Amarillo", "Teddy Bear", "Beatles Medley" and "Wipe Out".
He appeared in many television programmes, such as Six-Five Special, Cool For Cats, and Oh Boy!, in which he appeared with Lord Rockingham's XI.
Later, Blackwell toured with the Beach Boys.
In the 1980s, Blackwell worked as the Entertainments Manager at the Welcome Family Holiday Park, Dawlish Warren, Devon, where he continued pleasing the crowds and breaking drumming records.
According to a 2008 local news report, Blackwell was retired and living in South Devon.
He died, aged 86, on 19 December 2019.
