Biography

Lena Zavaroni was born on 4 November 1963 in the town of Rothesay, on the Isle of Bute, just off the West coast of Scotland, of Scottish and Italian descent. She grew up in a musical environment, performing at an early age. As a ten year old, she appeared on the Thames Television talent show, Opportunity Knocks (1956), at the end of 1973 where she topped the viewers voting polls for five weeks. Her recording of 'Ma, He's Making Eyes At Me' was rush released and early in 1974 reached #10 in the British charts as well as making the US charts. This secured her a place as the youngest-ever artist to appear on BBC Television's Top of the Pops (1964) show. Other singles such as '(You've Got) Personality' (#33 on the UK chart), 'Some of These Days'and 'Smile' as well as albums followed. Notable LPs included 'If My Friends Could See Me Now' and 'Presenting Lena Zavaroni', released in 1977 and including her versions of Dawn's 'Say Has Anybody Seen My Sweet Gypsy Rose' and the Lynsey de Paul song 'Won't Somebody Dance With Me'.

Live performances quickly followed, including a show-stopping performance in a Hollywood charity show starring Frank Sinatra and Lucille Ball as well as guest-starring on her 11th birthday on The Carol Burnett Show (1967). She was invited to go to the White House to sing for President Gerald Ford in 1974 and performed in the 1976 'Royal Variety Show'.

Notable TV appearances included The Morecambe & Wise Show (1968), Hi! Summer (1977), The Val Doonican Show (1970), and her own TV series called 'Lena Zavaroni and Music', the first of which was screened on BBC Television in May 1979.

Sadly, Lena developed anorexia and spent many years fighting this devastating disease until her death in 1999.
