Goddard was born in Reading, Berkshire, England. He recorded four singles as solo artist, produced by Joe Meek:
- "Girl Bride" / "For Eternity" HMV POP 938 October 1961
- "My Little Girl's Come Home" / "Try Once More" HMV POP 1068 September 1962
- "Saturday Dance" / "Come Back To Me" HMV POP 1160 May 1963
- "Sky Men" / "Walk With Me My Angel" HMV POP 1213 October 1963[1]
He was originally promoted by Meek as a Russ Conway/Liberace styled singer named Anton Hollywood,[2] but eventually he released his solo records under his real name. His best known efforts were penning "Johnny Remember Me" for John Leyton. It became a #1 hit single in the UK Singles Chart. Goddard also played keyboards on various of Meek's productions, most notably another chart-topper, The Tornados' hit single, "Telstar".[2] Despite his considerable track record as a songwriter, Goddard withdrew from the music industry after falling out with Meek. In addition, in July 1965, it was decided in the High Court in London that The Honeycombs' hit "Have I The Right" was the work of Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley, and did not infringe the copyright of Goddard's own "Give Me The Chance".[3]
Subsequently, Goddard worked for many years in the catering department of the University of Reading. In 1985, the royalties from the Marc Almond and Bronski Beat cover version of "Johnny Remember Me" came as a complete surprise to him.[2]
Goddard died in May 2000, at the age of 62.[1]
