About Paddy Roberts
Hometown
South Africa
Born
January 18, 1910
Genre
Comedy
While his act may seem tame by later standards, songwriter and comedian Paddy Roberts’s curt, folksy compositions, often boasting risqué themes, tweaked the often uptight standards of mid-20th-century British society. His adoptive country (Roberts was born in South Africa but raised in England) ate up his discs during the late 1950s & ‘60s. Roberts, who had also tasted brief fame in the 1930s with the U.K. chart-topper “Angel of the Great White Way,” was also a well-regarded songwriter, penning hits for Ruby Murray, Max Bygraves, and many others.
