About Steve Conway (singer)
Steve Conway was a British singer who rose to fame in the 1940s, following the end of the Second World War. Known for romantic ballads, he made dozens of recordings for EMI's Columbia label, appeared regularly on BBC Radio and toured the UK, before his career was cut short by his early death, aged 31, resulting from a heart condition. He has been described as "Britain's first post-war male heart-throb, a masculine equivalent of Vera Lynn in his sincerity and clear diction." Groom was persuaded to enter such a contest at a Bethnal Green cinema when he was 16, where he won the first prize of a biscuit barrel.
