Song of the Day: Screaming Lord Sutch, “Jack The Ripper”

Song of the Day 1 Minute

David Edward Sutch, also known as Screaming Lord Sutch, was born on this day in 1940. He was best known for his horror-themed stage show in the 1960’s, as demonstrated by this performance of "Jack The Ripper," a song written and first done by Clarence Stacy in 1961. When Sutch’s cover came out in 1963, it was immediately banned by the BBC.

  2. I read about him in some Beatle books. I read where he would start a concert by coming out of a coffin.
