Happy Birthday, Acker Bilk [January 28, 1929]! Bernard Stanley Acker Bilk MBE (d. November 2, 2014) was an English clarinettist and vocalist known for his appearance – goatee, bowler hat and striped waistcoat – and breathy, vibrato-rich, lower-register clarinet style. Bilks 1962 instrumental tune Stranger on the Shore became the UKs biggest selling single of 1962: it was in the UK charts for more than 50 weeks, peaked at number two, and was the first No. 1 single in the United States by a British artist in the era of the modern Billboard Hot 100 pop chart.
