Ricky Valance was the first Welshman to score a number one hit with "Tell Laura I Love Her". Banned by the BBC due its associations with teenage suicide, the song launched Ricky's career and despite not receiving a huge follow up hit, Ricky has continued to record and perform for the past 55 years. The film follows Ricky as he retraces his roots from Spain's Costa del Sol to the Welsh valleys and performs to devoted fans at the miner's club where his career began. Part of the BBC1 'They Sold a Million' season.
