Winifred Atwell - Let's Have Another Party

Winifred Atwell - 'Let's Have Another Party'

3rd December, 1954 (5 weeks)

Winifred Atwell, the first black person to reach the top of the UK charts, became the 3rd UK Christmas Number 1 in 1954 with the follow up to her previous hit 'Let's Have A Party'.

On stage, Atwell was charming, warm and dazzled with her skills at the piano. No wonder she became a star in an austere, post-War Britain - she once performed a private show for Queen Elizabeth and was personally called back for an encore by the monarch herself.
