- Mike Berry is an English actor and singer, best known for his appearances as Mr. Spooner on the British sitcom, Are You Being Served?. He had three hits in the 1960s in the UK Singles Chart (notably "Tribute To Buddy Holly"). His first singles were produced by Joe Meek. In the mid-1970s he returned to the charts in the Netherlands and Belgium, as pirate radio station Radio Mi Amigo played his new record material, released on Dutch record label Pink Elephant Records. "Don't Be Cruel" made #14 in the Dutch Top 40 in May, 1975. His next record, a remake of his 1960 debut song "Tribute to Buddy Holly", hit #2 in October of that same year. In 1977 a song "I'm A Rocker", released on Flemish record label Scramble Records (owned by Radio Mi Amigo DJ Norbert) failed to chart. In the late 1970s he played Mr. Peters, the father of the two children in the TV version of the Worzel Gummidge books, along with Jon Pertwee and Una Stubbs. His character, Bert Spooner, replaced Trevor Bannister's Mr. Lucas in Are You Being Served? in 1981, and stayed until the end of the show's run in 1985. In 1980, he had a chart success in the UK, with "The Sunshine Of Your Smile", a cover version of a romantic song written before the First World War and produced by Chas Hodges. In 1985, his song "Everyone's A Wally" was included as the b-side to the video game by Mikro-Gen of the same name. His most recent CD was About Time Two, recorded in Nashville, Tennessee with The Crickets. His most recent film work was acting in Julie and the Cadillacs (1999).
- Mike Berry ist ein britischer Sänger und Schauspieler. Anfang der 60er Jahre war Berry einige Zeit im Tonstudio des Produzenten Joe Meek angestellt und spielte dabei oft mit den "Outlaws", die unter anderem als Begleitband für Heinz fungierten und diesen zum Beispiel bei seinem Erfolgstitel "Just Like Eddie" unterstützen. Wie Meek hatte auch Berry ein Faible für Buddy Holly, das schien damals das Einstellungskriterium Nummer 1 bei Meek gewesen zu sein. 1961 veröffentlichte Berry den ersten eigenen Song - "Tribute To Buddy Holly", der es in den britischen Charts auf Platz 24 brachte. Begleitet wurde er von den Outlaws, zu deren Mitgliedern bei dieser Aufnahme Ritchie Blackmore und Chas Hodges gehörten. In den 60er Jahren hatte er dann zwei weitere kleine Chartserfolge (u. a. "Don't You Think It's Time?", 1963 Platz 5 UK), wobei er von Stil und Aussehen oft mit Dave Berry verwechselt wurde. Zwischen den beiden gab es aber keine Verbindung. In den 70er Jahren arbeitete Mike Berry vorwiegend als Schauspieler für das britische Fernsehen. Dann stand er im August 1980 plötzlich erneut in den Charts mit dem Song "The Sunshine Of Your Smile", produziert von seinem alten Kollegen Chas Hodges. Mit dem Song "If I Could Only Make You Care" gelang er im gleichen Jahr nochmals unter die Top-50. Berry tourt bis heute auf Oldieveranstaltungen durch Großbritannien und steht immer mal wieder vor der Kamera für Werbespots oder als Nebendarsteller in Spielfilmen.
