Description
Jonathan King is an English singer-songwriter, record producer, music entrepreneur, and former TV and radio presenter.
King first entered the music industry with his 1965 single "Everyone's Gone to the Moon", which reached no 4 in the UK and no 17 in the USA. He followed this with several record releases, of which four made the UK Singles Chart Top 10 in the 1970s. Many were "novelty" records credited to pseudonymous bands.
In parallel with his own recording career, in the late 1960s and 1970s King produced other acts. He discovered and named Genesis and he produced the Bay City Rollers' first single, among others, before founding his own record label, UK Records, in 1972. A significant signing was 10cc who were with the label for their first hits. In the 1980s and 1990s King became more involved in media work and regularly appeared as a presenter of British television programmes including Entertainment USA.
King was sentenced to seven years in prison in 2001, after being found guilty of committing sexual offences against five boys aged 14 and 15 during the 1980s. He was released on parole in 2005.
