Autorenporträt
John Cheatdom is one of the Greatest Falsetto Singers of his Generation. Born in Brooklyn, New York, July 7, 1938 John is probably the only living singer who has had success as a lead vocalist in five different singing groups - The Troubadors, The Velours, The Fantastics, The Realistics and The Magic Platters. John has spent close to 70 years of his life performing throughout the world, in five different continents. When John was sixteen years old, he began shaping his future while embarking upon a career as a professional singer in the entertainment industry. His music career began in 1953 when his group was originally formed as The Troubadours in the Bedford-Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn. The group later changed their name and exploded onto the music scene as the Velours, with the release of their hit record "Can I Come Over Tonight?" At the age of 17, John was traveling all over America performing with the Velours. Their first tour was with all Black performers, and included: Ray Charles and his band, Mickey and Sylvia and The Moonglows. Eventually the Velours broke up and John went to college, got a job, got married, started a family and stopped performing. After being presented with an opportunity to get back into show business, John reorganized the group and they went to London to work. Because of the instant success, John moved to London and relaunched his career as a member of what eventually became the Magical Platters. At the age of 79, John continues to tour and has carved out a significant career and life for his family. He currently lives in London with his wife Rona and two sons, Blake and John.
