David Hemmings - Happens flac album

David Edward Leslie Hemmings (18 November 1941 – 3 December 2003) was an English film, theatre and television actor, as well as a film and television director and producer. He also co-founded the Hemdale Film Corporation in 1967. He is noted for his role as the photographer in the drama mystery-thriller film Blowup (1966), directed by Michelangelo Antonioni. Early in his career, Hemmings was a boy soprano appearing in operatic roles.

Hey, if Albert Finney could cut an album, and Richard Harris could actually score a hit record, why shouldn't David Hemmings have gone and tried adding "pop singer" to his resume? At least Hemmings had starred in movies with Gene Vincent and Jerry Lee Lewis, giving him a greater on factor than most of his thespian colleagues, and he had performed in a few London folk groups before striking it big as an actor, so he had some actual experience in front of a microphone.

David Hemmings (18 November 1941 – 3 December 2003) was an English film actor and director, whose most famous role was the photographer in Blowup. In his later acting career, he was known for his distinctive eyebrows and gravelly voice. Born in Guildford, Surrey, his education at Alleyn's School led him to start his career performing as a boy soprano in several works by Benjamin Britten, who formed a close friendship with him at this time.

In the wake of Blow Up, he also had a little-known career as a recording artist, issuing a solo album, Happens, on MGM in 1967

He was educated at Glyn College, Epsom, but while still a child, Hemmings made his first forays into the world of entertainment.
