Mike Pratt (actor)
Michael John Pratt (7 June 1931 – 10 July 1976) was an English actor, musician, songwriter and screenwriter, known for his work on British television in the 1960s and 1970s.
==Early life and musical career==
In his early career, Pratt worked in advertising, while also taking some part-time acting roles, until in the mid-'50s he took a sabbatical quitting his office job. He drove around Europe in an old-style London taxi with three friends, including Lionel Bart.
On returning to Britain, he earned a living as a jazz and skiffle musician in London clubs. An accomplished guitarist and pianist, in the 1950s, he jammed with the Vipers Skiffle Group at the 2 I's club in London with his friend Tommy Steele. Pratt can be seen jamming skiffle on a 1950s Pathé News clip with other musicians of the era including members of the Shadows.A successful songwriter, Pratt collaborated with Bart and Steele on many of Steele's early hits in the late 1950s and early '60s. To enable Steele to start to film his life story, co-writers Steele, Bart and Pratt, wrote twelve songs in seven days. A Steele-Pratt collaboration, "A Handful of Songs", originally a hit for Tommy Steele in 1957, became the theme tune to a long-running Granada Television children's programme of the same name in the late 1970s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Handful of Songs – Many thanks to Kathy Jones and Keith Field for providing information on this wonderful little show )〕 They also wrote the song "Rock with Cavemen". Bart and Pratt received the 1957 Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically for "Little White Bull".〔Lister, David, ''Pop ballads bite back in lyrical fashion'', The Independent, 28 May 1994〕 He won a further Ivor Novello award for "Handful of Songs".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Michael Pratt )〕 In 1961 he wrote the music and lyrics for ''The Big Client'', a play which was produced at the Bristol Old Vic from 28 November 1961.〔"Historical Comedy For Bristol."
