Biography
David Garrick, born Philip Darrell Core on September 12, 1945, in Liverpool, England, is a British pop singer. He began his musical journey as a member of his local church choir and later pursued formal training at a conservatory to become an opernsinger. During this period, he studied the works of Ludwig van Beethoven and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and developed an interest in Mario Lanza's life and work. Garrick's career as a pop singer began with a bet among friends at London's Cavern Club. His first notable success was a cover version of "Lady Jane", written by Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, which reached number 28 in the UK charts. In late 1966 and early 1967, his single "Dear Mrs. Applebee" peaked at Number 1 in Germany and number 22 in the UK. His subsequent singles "Please Mr. Moving Man" and "Don't Go Out into the Rain (You're Gonna Melt, Sugar)" also achieved moderate success in Germany. Garrick's debut album A Boy Called David reached number 25 on the German LP-Hitparade in spring 1967. Following this success, he recorded several titles in German, though these did not match his earlier achievements. His other notable albums include Don't Go Out Into the Rain Sugar (1967), Blow Up Live (1968), plus later releases such as All the Hits Plus More - The Best of David Garrick (1996) and The Pye Anthology (2001). Garrick passed away on August 23, 2013, in Wirral, England.
