A second single, "Lamplight", also reached the British Top 10, without doubt though his biggest hit was 'Hold Me Close reaching Number 1 in the charts in 1975.

Essex's pop idol looks gave him a strong female fan base and his British tours created scenes of hysteria reminiscent of Beatlemania.

Today Essex still tours and has new releases on his own record label ' Lamplight '.
