Kenny Denton & The Film Actor Who Couldn’t Sing a Note. Arthur Mullard. Then Enter's Chas & Dave: "Where There's a Hit There's a writ.” From “There Ain’t No Rules In Rock ’n’ Roll”
This Deep Dive review explores the creative collaboration between the comedic actor Arthur Mullard and the musical duo Chas & Dave during the mid-1970s. It details the production process behind a humorous, spoken-word rendition of "I Only Have Eyes for You," which was intended to capitalise on Mullard's distinct Cockney persona. Despite the track's commercial failure due to stiff competition from Art Garfunkel, the narrative highlights the behind-the-scenes dynamics of the British music industry. The memoir also touches upon the legal disputes and shifting fortunes that occurred when Mullard eventually found chart success with a different label. Ultimately, the source provides a nostalgic reflection on the eccentricities and unpredictable nature of the vintage UK entertainment scene.
