Stage name:
Arnold George Dorsey was born in Madras, British India (present-day Chennai, India) in 1936,[3] one of ten children to British Army NCO Mervyn Dorsey who was of Welsh descent, and his wife Olive who was of German descent.[4] His family moved to Leicester, England when he was ten.
Given the swarthy good looks (ok I know he’s Welsh, like Tom Jones), I imagine some of his ancestors picked up a little bit of Indian blood while they were out there.
