Torrent description

Clodagh Rodgers (English pronunciation: Clo-da) Clodagh; born 5 March 1947, Ballymena) is a singer and actress from Northern Ireland, best known for her hit single, Jack in the Box.

Career

Rodgers made her professional debut at age 13 opening for Michael Holliday Championed by her father, a dancehall tour promoter, Rodgers signed for Decca in 1961, at the age of 14. She made four singles before moving to EMIs Columbia label in 1965, where she was known as Cloda Rogers, the name under which she made the 1966 single Stormy Weather/Lonely Room. Although none of the singles she released for Decca or Columbia made the UK Singles Chart, Rodgers did succeed in becoming a regular face on British television and appeared in the musical films Just for Fun and Its All Over Town. She also appeared in various song festivals, finishing third in the European Song Cup competition in Greece, singing Powder Your Face With Sunshine. Rodgers appeared, along with Honeybus, on BBC Twos music programme, Colour Me Pop on 12 October 1968.

Her career changed dramatically when she married John Morris, who became her manager. She signed a three-single deal with RCA in 1968, but the first two singles failed to chart. Producer and songwriter Kenny Young heard one of these and under his creative wing, and together with Morris management, she shot to fame in 1969 with two Top 5 hits Come Back and Shake Me and Goodnight Midnight, which resulted in her being the best selling female singles artist of that year. She also won the award for The Best Legs in British showbusiness and insured her voice for one million pounds. The further single releases Biljo, Everybody Go Home, The Partys Over and Lady Love Bug, continued her chart success in the next few years. Many of her songs around this time were written and produced by the American Kenny Young. In 1970 Rodgers recorded a single called Give Me Just a Little More Time with Young which enjoyed moderate success. The duo called themselves Moonshine for this release. In May 1970 Rodgers appeared on the bill at the NME poll-winners concert, hosted by Tony Blackburn and Jimmy Savile.

Eurovision

By this time, Rodgers became a household name and TV star. In 1970 she was asked to represent the UK in the 1971 Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin. According to John Kennedy OConnors The Eurovision Song Contest The Official History, part of the reasoning behind the BBCs invitation was their concern over what reaction the UK entrant would get on the stage from the Irish public. She received death threats from the IRA as a result of her appearing for the UK.

Heralded by two separate front cover features on the BBC listings magazine, the Radio Times, Rodgers appeared as the resident guest on Its Cliff Richard, a prime-time variety show hosted by Cliff Richard on BBC One from January 1971, performing one shortlisted song a week for six weeks, followed by a performance of all six on week seven and a repeat of the six songs immediately after. Viewers would normally have been asked to send in postcard votes for their favourites, but owing to a postal strike, regional juries decided the winner, with Jack in the Box, written by John Worsley and David Myers, being named the winner the following week. The song that placed fourth in the UK selection, Another Time, Another Place, later became a hit for Engelbert Humperdinck.

For the first time in the Eurovision Song Contest, broadcasters were required to prepare a preview video of the song for broadcast in all the participating Eurovision countries, helping promote the songs before the big night. For the performance in Dublin, Rodgers wore a pink frilly top and spangled hot pants. She finished in fourth place, behind Monaco, Spain and Germany. It was the first time since 1966 that the UK had not placed first or second. After Eurovision, the single reached number 4 on the UK Singles Chart, her third and last UK Top 10 success. It remains her most famous hit.

At Eurovision, Rodgers sister Lavinia was one of her four backing vocalists. In 1982, Lavinia and brother Lewis Rodgers attempted to represent the UK in the contest as part of the group, Good Looks. They failed to come through the UK heat.

Post-Eurovision career

Despite only one more chart single, Lady Love Bug, in the autumn of 1971, Rodgers continued to be a major TV star in the UK, guesting on many shows, appearing in cabaret and becoming the face of Bisto in a series of television advertisements. On Irish TV, The Clodagh Rodgers Show won an award at the Golden Rose TV festival in Montreux, and Rodgers starred in many other shows, including Seaside Special for BBC Television (she hosted the first ever show from Great Yarmouth in 1975), The Morecambe and Wise Show in 1970 and The Two Ronnies in 1973.

Rodgers also made a mark with her impressions of fellow artists such as Cilla Black, and often worked with Mike Yarwood, Des OConnor, Tommy Cooper, Bob Monkhouse and Dickie Henderson in variety.

She was a regular performer in UK resorts summer seasons, sharing the bill with Mike and Bernie Winters, among others. This success was mirrored on stage, where she has starred in Londons West End in her own show at the Talk of the Town (breaking Sammy Davis Jr.s box office record); in Cinderella at the London Palladium (1971); and in two musicals. These were Pump Boys and Dinettes at the Piccadilly and Albery Theatres, and Blood Brothers at the Phoenix Theatre. She also appeared in the UK tour of Blood Brothers between 1995 and 1998.

Her stage career was damaged when she walked out on the show Meet Me in London at Londons Adelphi Theatre in April 1971. The show, a fixed ten-week fill-in between the closure of the musical Charlie Girl and a new production of Showboat, was produced by Harold Fielding, and consisted of two halves. Clodagh was due to feature in the opening half, mainly with a thirty-strong singing and dancing group of boys and girls from television, The Younger Generation, with two interspersed spots, one with comics Hope and Keen, the other some songs from Rodgers. The second half was a Tommy Steele-centred spectacular that had originally been played in Las Vegas. After cuts to the running order to trim the shows length, Rodgers and her manager/husband walked out a quarter-of-an-hour before curtain-up on the first night. Hope and Keen filled in in her place and after few shows singer Susan Maughan took over her spot.

Despite this, Rodgers continued with TV work through to the late 1970s, and signed to Polydor Records in 1976. Despite radio airplay and television appearances, her 1977 single Save Me failed to chart. The track was covered in the U.S. by Louise Mandrell in 1983, who took it to number six on the U.S. country chart. Save Me was also covered by the South African all-girl band Clout in 1977.

In 1978, Rodgers teamed with Terry Wogan on the ITV game show 3-2-1 in the programmes first Christmas Special Celebrity edition, and the pair became the first ever contestants (celebrity or otherwise) to end up with the infamous Dustbin as their prize, losing the chance to attain a prize for their nominated charity. She split up from her manager and husband not long after the birth of their son, and opted for motherhood over performing, although she did release two singles on the Precision label in 1980. One of these tracks was My Simple Heart, which was placed on a B-side. Shortly after its release, The Three Degrees released their version of the song and took it into the UK Top 10. Similarly, Rodgers had released Stand by Your Man as the B-side of her 1971 single Lady Love Bug. This was later a number one hit single for Tammy Wynette in 1975.

Later years

Her second husband, the guitarist Ian Sorbie, died in 1995, not long after their Paignton-based restaurant business collapsed, leaving them bankrupt.

In 1996, the first of two CD retrospectives were issued, bringing Rodgers back into the limelight. In 1998, she made a now rare TV appearance with other former Eurovision artists, performing on comedian John Shuttleworths Eurovision parody Europigeon on BBC Two, just before the 1998 contest was staged in Birmingham. In 1999, Mint Royale issued the track Shake Me, which sampled Rodgers original recording of Come Back And Shake Me. The track was featured in the UK TV production Queer As Folk. In 2001, Rodgers played a recurring character in the ITV drama series The Bill.
