Albert Hammond was born on May 18, 1944, in London and grew up in Gibraltar to Gibraltarian parents. In 1960, Albert left school, formed a band and began sending out recordings of his very first compositions to labels in England, where they were released by Parlophone Records. Soon thereafter, Albert met Mike Hazlewood and almost immediately, they teamed up as collaborators and began gaining recognition as a songwriting team: “Little Arrows” (Leapy Lee in 1968 - top 10 country and pop charts), “Make Me An Island” (a number one hit in 14 countries), “Gimme Dat Ding” (The Pipkins in 1970 - pop and R&B charts), “Freedom Come, Freedom Go” (The Fortunes in 1971), “Good Morning Freedom” (Blue Mink, 1970). “Gimme Dat Ding” was written for a children's television program called "Oliver In The Overworld" which starred Freddie and the Dreamers. . Thats all I know of this item.Thanks and good luck,Shipping Cost: Shipping is $4.00 and that includes a tracking numberanything over $200.00 has to be insured by the buyer .please understand I have no control once things are shipped.I try to combine shipping when I can but must be within the same week please.,I really can't wait longer to combine as it gets confusing. I try to save on shipping cost if possible and usually always ship USPS and I try to be very accurate when it comes to shipping charges unlike some.I try to ship a few days a week so if you buy something before say Thursday it will go out that same week,if bought on or after Thursday it will ship out the following Monday most likely.. just want you all to know as it can be tough to find the time to box everyday,hope you can understand.

THanks...Shipping & Insurance is paid by the buyer.(NO OUT OF U.S SHIPPING) you must ask me first as the cost is alot more to ship overseas.and if the item is over $200.00 you must pay for insurance.. .I usually only charge for shipping but sometimes I have to buy special packaging so it may be more But I will always work with you if there is ever a problem.Thanks & Good Luck.Peace
