Career

After leaving school, Ellington entered and won the 1977 final of the television talent show New Faces as a member of the duo Koffee 'n' Kreme with singing partner Beth Hannah.[4] He followed this with a tour with Johnny Mathis and a performance in the Royal Variety Show. His career continued as a session singer with many top artists and working on several albums. He went on to sing "Love You Too" the main theme song for Lee Van Cleef's last movie Thieves of Fortune (1988).[5]

In 1993 his single, "Lonely (Have We Lost Our Love)", peaked at number 57 in the UK Singles Chart.[6] Ellington's solo career includes studio albums, stage and club appearances and writing songs for Steps and Westlife. In 2004, he appeared as his late father in the film The Life and Death of Peter Sellers and, in 1993, sang a duet with Cathy Dennis on the soundtrack of Robin Hood: Men in Tights.[7] In 2012, Ellington was the resident vocalist on Strictly Come Dancing. In the same year he featured with Mary Carewe as a soloist in the James Bond 50th Anniversary Gala Concert, which was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and shown on BBC television in December 2012.[8]
