    Carol Deene (born3 August 1944)  is an English former pop singer.

    She was born Carole Carver in Thurnscoe, near Doncaster in Yorkshire, on 3 August 1944. She left school at 15 to work in a draper’s shop, then in a hairdresser’s, but held out hopes of becoming a singer. By 1961, she had realised the path to pop by-passed her hometown, so she went to live with her aunt in north
     London. She took singing lessons with vocal coach Freddie Winrose, who became her manager. He got her an audition with the BBC, from which she landed an appearance on Joan Regan’s television show. (She was renamed Carol Deene after BBC producer Deene Moray, who had phoned to check her name. The e in Carole was dropped simply because there would have been too many e’s if she had kept it.)
    After being spotted on the show by Wally Ridley from the HMV label, she was offered a recording contract. “Sad Movies (Make Me Cry)”, a version of a US million seller by Sue Thompson,
    was issued as her debut single in September 1961. It was the first of three covers she would issue of Sue Thompson hits. It narrowly missed the UK top 40 but sold respectably.

    She bounced back in January the following year with “Norman” (her second Sue Thompson cover). It was

    [edit]

    After appearing on Joan Regan's BBC TV programme Be My Guest in 1961,[3] at the age of 16, Deene was signed to the His Master's Voice label. She scored her first chart hit in late 1961, and three Top 40hits on the UK Singles Chart in 1962.

    Recordings

    [edit]

    Deene's first hit was "Sad Movies (Make Me Cry)", a number 44 entry on the UK chart in October 1961.[1] The song was a cover of a US hit written by John D. Loudermilk and originally performed by pop/country singer Sue Thompson; this was a formula repeated for Deene's second hit, "Norman", which reached number 24 in January 1962.

    In a different mould, Deene covered Joanie Somers' US chart hit "Johnny Get Angry" for her third single, and saw it reach number 32 in July that year.
