- Ralph McTell (born Ralph May in Farnborough, Kent, England, 3 December 1944 and raised in Croydon) is an English singer-songwriter and acoustic guitar player who has been an influential figure on the UK folk music scene since the 1960s. Ralph McTell is best known for the song "Streets of London" which has been covered by over two hundred artists around the world. In the 1980s he wrote and played songs for two TV children's programmes, Alphabet Zoo which also featured Nerys Hughes, followed by Tickle On The Tum featuring Jacqueline Reddin. Albums were also released from both series. He also recorded the theme song to Cosgrove Hall's adaptation of The Wind in the Willows with Keith Hopwood, and this was released as a single in 1984 after the series was aired on ITV. McTell's guitar playing has been modelled on the style of the USA's country blues guitar players of the early 20th century, including Blind Blake, Robert Johnson and Blind Willie McTell. These influences led a friend to suggest that he change his professional name to McTell as his career was beginning to take shape.
- Ralph McTell ist ein vom Folk beeinflusster englischer Songwriter, Sänger und Gitarrenspieler. Sein erstes Album Eight Frames a Second wurde 1967 veröffentlicht. Bekannt wurde er vor allem 1974/1975 mit einer Neuaufnahme von Streets of London, das in einer anderen Version bereits auf seinem zweiten Album Spiral Staircase von 1969 enthalten war, und für die er den Ivor Novello Award erhielt. Nach Anfangserfolgen, wie z. B. Girl on a Bicycle (das später von Herman van Veen auf Deutsch gecovert wurde) oder England, einer sozialkritischen Liebeserklärung an sein Heimatland, wandte er sich in den 1970er Jahren mehr dem kommerziell orientierten Mainstream zu. Erst Ende des Jahrzehnts fand er im Umfeld des aufkommenden Irish Folk Revivals wieder zu seinen Wurzeln zurück. In den 1980ern arbeitete McTell an verschiedenen Kindersendungen. Beispielsweise sang er den Titelsong der Trickfilmreihe Der Wind in den Weiden (1984–1988) und er wirkte bei der Sendung Alphabet Zoo von der BBC mit.
- Ralph McTell on englantilainen folklaulaja, jonka ehdottomasti tunnetuin kappale on vuonna 1968 julkaistu "Streets of London". Kappale tunnetaan Suomessa myös Hectorin käännöksenä "Kuinka voit väittää".
- È stato una figura influente della scena folk britannica già a partire dagli anni '60. È conosciuto soprattutto per la canzone Streets of London, interpretata da oltre duecento artisti in tutto il mondo. Negli anni '80, ha composto e cantato canzoni per due programmi televisivi per bambini, Alphabet Zoo (che vedeva anche la partecipazione di Nerys Hughes) e, successivamente, Tickle on the tum (con la partecipazione di Jaqui Reddin). Da entrambe le produzioni televisive McTell ha tratto un album. Lo stile chitarristico di McTell è stato influenzato da molti musicisti statunitensi di country e blues dei primi del secolo XX, tra cui Blind Blake, Blind Willie McTell e Robert Johnson.
- Ralph McTell, född 3 december 1944, är en brittisk sångare, kompositör och gitarrist. Hans kanske mest kända sång är Streets of London.
