After taking a new stage name, Oscar, he began a long association with the Australian-born entrepreneur, Robert Stigwood. In 1966, Nicholas signed with Stigwood's Reaction Records label and his first single under his new name, "Club of Lights", [6] scraped into the lower reaches of the Radio London Fab Forty chart.

By 1983 he was in BBC TV’s Just Good Friends and later appeared as Gavin Sullivan in EastEnders. Then there was the TV show The Real Marigold Hotel – hence the floral reference in the book’s title.

The second Oscar single was a version of a Pete Townshend song "Join My Gang", which The Who never recorded. His third single, a novelty song called "Over the Wall We Go" (1967) is notable for being written and produced by a young David Bowie (Nicholas at this time was managing the band The Sweet and recommended them to record producer Phil Wainman whom he worked with at Mellin Music Publishing). After settling on the stage name Paul Nicholas, he found success in the UK in musicals, beginning with the leading role of Claude in Hair (which Stigwood produced) before winning the title role in the original London production of Jesus Christ Superstar. The part of Danny to Elaine Paige's Sandy made them the first British couple to play the leads in Grease.

Please note that smaller print does not translate well via scanning method, but is in fact, clear and sharp) Having done a workshop with Andrew Lloyd Webber, he returned to West End theatre in 1981 to create the role of Rum Tum Tugger in Lloyd Webber's musical Cats. He then originated the title role in Blondel by Sir Tim Rice and Stephen Oliver. That same year, he starred in Two Up, Two Down, a short-lived sitcom co-starring Su Pollard. In 1983, he got his first high-profile television role as Vince Pinner in Just Good Friends. The show, for which Nicholas also sang the theme tune, was a success.

I enjoyed, for instance, the anecdote about accompanying on piano a friend who was auditioning for a part, only for the job to be offered to Nicholas himself. But then, elsewhere, he tells us that he grew up playing no musical instruments. So when and how did he learn piano? There is no chronology and the book leaps confusingly about in time far too much. I read half of it, for instance, wanting to know more about his childhood and how he got involved in performing in the first place. In 2023 Nicholas resumed a UK tour of ‘The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’ prior to a West End run. He also released an audio book of his biography ‘Musicals Marigolds & Me’ Nicholas married Linzi Jennings in 1984 and they have two children together. [21] Discography [ edit ] Albums [ edit ]

In 1976, he embarked on a short-lived but high-profile pop career, with three Top 20 hits in the UK Singles Chart "Reggae Like It Used To Be", "Dancing with the Captain", and "Grandma's Party", the last two of which reached the Top 10. [9] He released the single " Heaven On The 7th Floor" in 1977. This only just reached the UK Top 40, but reached number No. 1 in New Zealand. In the US, the song peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 5 in Cashbox listings, giving Nicholas a gold record. He followed this with "On The Strip" which entered the Billboard Hot 100 No. 67 but failed to enter the UK chart. In the mid-1970s he hosted his own children's television pop show, Paul. [8]It’s an interesting book and Paul Nicholas’ name will sell it but it would have been a great deal better if had been punctiliously edited. As it is, it reads a bit like a verbatim theatre monologue. In nice shape, though please remember it's FROM AN ORIGINAL MAGAZINE, so most will have various (small) wear markings & imperfections... These ads are difficult to locate as not many were produced and more often than not, disappeared, shortly after being published/read. Very few survive to this day as they were only made available for a maximum time frame of ONE WEEK ONLY! The book tells us about his many and various achievements in some detail but he cheerfully admits that he simply recorded his memories orally ready for Douglas Thompson to write them up. And Thompson, I’m afraid, has done him few favours in the structure of this book. This section of a biography of a living person does not include any references or sources.
