Bryan Johnson (singer)

Bryan Johnson (18 July 1926 - 18 October 1995) was an English singer.

The brother of singer Teddy Johnson, he emulated his brother and sister-in-law Pearl Carr, by coming second in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1960, with "Looking High, High, High".

He was also an actor who, in Donald Wolfit's Company played such roles as Feste in "Twelfth Night" and the Fool in "King Lear". In Ronald Harwood's biography of Wolfit, Wolfit is quoted as saying (p. 251) that he was "the best Fool I ever had". Later he played roles in musicals such as "Lock Up Your Daughters" and enjoyed a late success as Scrooge in a touring production of "A Christmas Carol". He was an actor of the old school with a melodious speaking voice and a strong stage presence.fact|date=July 2008
