Kevin Todd (born 1943) from Hurstville, Sydney was a regular singer on
Bandstand and Johnny O'Keefe's
Six O'Clock Rock television show. When he was at school he had no interest in singing in the choir because his focus was on footy. What got him started was watching other people singing on TV and Todd said at the time,
''If they could it then I could do it so I gave it a try''. Until the singing bug bit him he was all set for a career in the wholesale fruit marketing business of his godfathers firm. In 1961 he released his first single ''Linda Lea'' on the HMV label. Also, in that same year he married fellow performer Laurel Lea. The pair often performed duets together. Todd released a number of singles during the 60s. He supported Screaming Lord Sutch's tour in 1964. Todd would later move into the club scene.
