Terence Nelhams-Wright (23 June 1940 – 8 March 2003), known as Adam Faith, was a British teen idol, singer, actor and financial journalist. He was one of the most charted acts of the 1960s. He became the first UK artist to lodge his initial seven hits in the Top 5. He was also one of the first UK acts to record original songs regularly. Terence Nelhams-Wright was born at 4 East Churchfield Road, Acton, Middlesex (now London), England.

The Roulettes were Adam Faith's backing band, but also recorded on their own. Chris Andrews was a major song provider. My Generation: The Roulettes Tree: Adam Faith, Chris Andrews (show 41/42 of 09/16 Oct. 2016).

Faith rocked occasionally, as on "Made You," had moderate success adapting to the changes wrought by the Beatles, and later worked with folk-pop material. The Very Best of Adam Faith tracks his evolution by collecting 26 . chart hits from 1959-1966, four of which were recorded with the Roulettes. Faith had two minor hits in the . in 1965 that aren't included, but The Very Best of Adam Faith is otherwise an exemplary and essential anthology of an early British pop star. 1 Heartsick Feeling Adam Faith 2:7.

Faith's last Top Ten hit in the UK (in October 1963) was "The First Time" (UK No. 5), which was also his first single with his backing group in 1963 and 1964, The Roulettes, acquired to give Faith's music a harder 'beat group' edge more in keeping with the Merseybeat sound at that time sweeping the British charts. Band members Russ Ballard and Bob Henrit went on to join Unit 4 + 2 formed by original Roulettes' member Brian Parker (on whose 1965 number one song, "Concrete and Clay", they had both previously played); the two would later also become members of rock band Argent. Original members of the band were Rod Argent on keyboards, bassist Jim Rodford (Argent's cousin and formerly with the Mike Cotton Sound), drummer Bob Henrit and guitarist Russ Ballard (both formerly with The Roulettes and Unit 4 + 2).

Adam Faith was an English teen idol with a decent voice, and John Barry's production brings out its expressiveness and its best intonation. The repertory includes a good sampling of old standards ("Summertime," atmospherically arranged with reeds, strings, and celeste by Barry) and covers of recent hits (Pomus-Shuman's "Turn Me Loose" and "I'm A Man")  .
