Creole Jazz - Acker Bilk.
Acker Bilk, MBE (28th January 1929 - 2nd November 2014) was an English clarinettist and vocalist known for his breathy, vibrato-rich, lower-register style, and distinctive appearance - of goatee, bowler hat and striped waistcoat.
Bilk's instrumental tune "Stranger on the Shore" became the UK's biggest selling single of 1962: it was in the UK charts for more than 50 weeks, peaking at number two, and was the first No. 1 single in the United States by a British artist in the era of the modern Billboard Hot 100 pop chart.
