Billy Howard is an English comedian and impressionist,[1] who appeared on the ITV series Who Do You Do? in the early 1970s, alongside other impressionists such as Faith Brown.[2]
Howard was born in Edgware, London, England.[3] He commenced his musical career as a jazz trumpeter and guitarist, playing in jazz combos in the early 1960s.[3] In 1976, his single "King of the Cops", a comic version of the hit "King of the Road", reached No. 6 in the UK Singles Chart; it featured his impressions of TV cops including Kojak, Columbo, Steve McGarrett in Hawaii Five-O, McCloud, Ironside and Cannon. Several months later, a follow-up, "The Disco Cops", was also released, but did not chart. Another comic record by Howard, "Frantic Frog (Parts 1 and 2)", was released in 1977 and also failed to chart.
