Anthony James `Lonnie` Donegan (29 April 1931 – 3 November 2002) was a British skiffle singer, songwriter and musician, referred to as the `King of Skiffle`, who influenced 1960s British pop and rock musicians.[1][2][3] Born in Scotland and brought up in England, Donegan began his career in the British trad jazz revival, but transitioned to skiffle in the mid-1950s, rising to prominence with a hit recording of the American folk song `Rock Island Line`, which helped spur the broader UK skiffle movement.

Donegan had 31 UK top-30 hit singles, 24 were successive hits and three were number one. He was the first British male singer with two US top-10 hits.[1] Donegan received an Ivor Novello lifetime achievement award in 1995,[4] and in 2000, he was appointed MBE. He was a pivotal figure in the British Invasion due to his influence in the US in the late 1950s.

Legacy
Mark Knopfler released a tribute to Lonnie Donegan titled `Donegan`s Gone` on his 2004 album, Shangri-La, and said he was one of his greatest influences.[2] Donegan`s music formed a musical starring his two sons. Lonnie D – The Musical took its name from the Chas & Dave tribute song that started the show. Subsequently, Peter Donegan formed a band to perform his father`s material, and has since linked with his father`s band from the last 30 years with newcomer Eddie Masters on bass. They made an album together in 2009 titled Here We Go Again. Lonnie Donegan`s eldest son, Anthony, also formed his own band, as Lonnie Donegan Jr, who also performed `World Cup Willie` for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

On his album A Beach Full of Shells, Al Stewart paid tribute to Donegan in the song `Katherine of Oregon`. In `Class of `58`, he describes a British entertainer who is either Donegan or a composite including him. In a 2023 video interview with Steve Houk, Stewart described `Rock Island Line` as a record `that completely changed the complexion of English society, and changed my life and everybody else`s`.[citation needed]

Peter Sellers recorded Puttin` on the Smile featuring `Lenny Goonagain`, who travels to the `Deep South` of Brighton and finds an `obscure folk song hidden at the top of the American hit parade`, re-records it and reaches number one in the UK.

David Letterman pretended to try to remember Jimmy Fallon`s name during the Tonight Show conflict between Jay Leno and Conan O`Brien, calling Fallon `Lonnie Donegan`.[21]

In the 2019 movie Judy, actor John Dagleish portrays Lonnie Donegan, who replaces an ill Judy Garland. He is shown in the (entirely fictional) final scene generously allowing her to make one last appearance on stage.

Quotations
`I`m trying to sing acceptable folk music. I want to widen the audience beyond the artsy-craftsy crowd and the pseudo intellectuals–but without distorting the music itself.` NME – June 1956[22]
`In Britain, we were separated from our folk music tradition centuries ago and were imbued with the idea that music was for the upper classes. You had to be very clever to play music. When I came along with the old three chords, people began to think that if I could do it, so could they. It was the reintroduction of the folk music bridge which did that.` – Interview, 2002.[23]
`He was the first person we had heard of from Britain to get to the coveted No. 1 in the charts, and we studied his records avidly. We all bought guitars to be in a skiffle group. He was the man.` – Paul McCartney[23]
`He really was at the very cornerstone of English blues and rock.` – Brian May.[2]
`I wanted to be Elvis Presley when I grew up, I knew that. But the man who really made me feel like I could actually go out and do it was a chap by the name of Lonnie Donegan.` – Roger Daltrey[24]
`Remember, Lonnie Donegan started it for you.` – Jack White`s acceptance speech at the Brit Awards.[25]
`You know in my little span of life I`ve come across such a sea of bigotries and prejudices. I get so fed up with it now. I feel I have to do something about it.` - BBC Panorama[26]
