Too much wine
His 'Latch On' MGM Records – 45-MGM-956 is considered one of the most collectable 45s of all time!
Rumour has it that only six copies of this side exist!

early on it occurred to me to ask what instrument he was mostly associated with, but it slipped from my mind
though doubt even knowing that would have helped without the Jerry Lee Lewis clue!

We could claim he's a bit too obscure, but tbf if someone has a wiki page then that makes them eligible to be selected as the quiz subject, imo.
and who knows, if I'd asked the 'which instrument' question, perhaps the ukulele clue would have been enough for someone to find him without having to resort to clues.
I put too much onus on the rock n roll song, which turned out to be trying to find a needle in a haystack
Thanks anyway for the quiz!
