Born To Rock N Roll - The Greatest Hits - album due March 5th on UMTV "I remember when Marty Wilde, Dickie Pride and I were 'three cool cats'. I always thought in those days there was actually only one 'cool cat' - and that was Marty.   Stay cool!   Happy 50th!!   All the best, mate" Cliff Richard. "Marty Wilde was one of possibly two or three singers in the UK who actually could capture the American art... His vocal performances on track 'Johnny Rocco', 'Endless Sleep', 'Bad Boy' and especially 'Tomorrow's Clown' were performances which exceeded any other English Rock and Roll singer..." Robert Plant "Why did the best musicians of the time want to play with Marty? Because he had that cool credibility that many of the others lacked, and he was a great musician too.  Check out the Wildcats, what a backing band! I'm still in awe of him. He's is one of the true British Rock Heroes". Justin Hayward "Over half a century his career has continued to flourish, as composer and exciting live performer. Marty Wilde is one of my heroes."
