Biography

17 March 1937, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. A romantic crooner in the style of Johnny Mathis, Wade was working as a laboratory assistant for Dr. Jonas Salk, the man who discovered polio vaccine, when he auditioned for the Coed label. He eventually scored three US Top 10 hits: ‘Take Good Care Of Her’, ‘The Writing On The Wall’ and ‘As If I Didn’t Know’, all in 1961. He then disappeared from the charts for four years, returning with a cover of Elvis Presley’s ‘Crying In The Chapel’ on Epic in 1965. Wade later became a television actor and the first black person in the USA to host a game show, Musical Chairs (1976). He starred in an all-black production of Guys And Dolls in Los Angeles in 1978, and later hosted a talk show called Mid-Morning LA.
