Edna Savage


Edna Savage was a traditional pop singer in the United Kingdom.
Savage was born in Warrington, Lancashire, England.
She had two sisters, both older. Her father was a landscape gardener, her mother an amateur singer. She left school at age 15. At first she trained as a telephone operator, but after a few bands had her sing for them locally, she quit the telephone job to sing professionally.
She auditioned twice for the BBC before making her first broadcast, in 1954. She recorded a number of records, only one of which charted, "Arrivederci Darling" in 1956, which made it to No. 19 in the UK Singles Chart. In 1957 she participated in the UK qualifying heat for the Eurovision Song Contest. In addition to being briefly married to fellow singer Terry Dene, Savage married three more times.
She died at the age of 64.
