Joseph Roger Brown (born 13 May 1941), known as Joe Brown, is a British entertainer of the 1960s and beyond.

Although born in Swarby, Lincolnshire, Brown sustained a career as a Cockney rock'n'roll singer and guitarist. He was a live and television performer in the late 1950s, a UK recording star in the early 1960s.

Career

In 1956, Brown formed The Spacemen skiffle group, which became the backing group on Jack Good's television series "Boy Meets Girls" in 1959.

Rechristened Joe Brown And The Bruvvers', the group joined Larry Parnes' artists and signed to Decca Records. Brown charted with "The Darktown Strutters Ball" in 1960 and had UK Top 10 hits on the Piccadilly label in 1962-63 with "A Picture Of You", "It Only Took A Minute" and "That's What Love Will Do".

Brown was voted "Top UK Vocal Performer" in 1962 and 1963 by "NME" magazine.He went on to appear in films, pantomime and stage musicals, notably "Charlie Girl" in the West End. He presented the children's television series, "Joe & Co", on BBC TV, and a daytime quiz show on ITV called "Square One".

In 1972, he formed another band, Brown's Home Brew, which played country music and featured his wife, Vicki Brown, who died of cancer in 1991. Their daughter, Sam Brown, is also a singer.

Brown plays acoustic guitar, electric guitar, ukulele, mandolin and fiddle.

He was best man at George Harrison's second marriage in 1978. Following Harrison's death from lung cancer on 29 November 2001, he appeared at the Concert for George singing "I'll See You in My Dreams", accompanying himself on the ukulele.

Brown appeared on a track on Harrison's last album, "Brainwashed".

Brown continues to performs and makes occasional TV appearances. He is working on a musical, "Don't You Rock Me Daddio", with songwriter Roger Cook. In December 2006, he was one of three guest hosts of "Sounds of the 60s" on BBC Radio 2 during the absence of host Brian Matthew.
