Geoffrey Turton, who also recorded under the name Jefferson, is a British singer. His musical career began as the falsettist lead singer and rhythm guitarist of The Rockin' Berries in 1961, which had a number of hits in the UK and Europe. The group was best known for its covers, and Turton did much of the searching and decision work as to what was to be sung.
When the group broke up in 1968 Turton started a solo career, releasing a single "Don't You Believe It" on Piccadilly Records. It flopped, and Piccadilly head John Schroeder suggested that Turton change his name to Jefferson. At that time, Turton recorded the original version of "Love Grows". The single "Montage" failed to chart, but its follow-up "The Colour of My Love" was a hit in the UK and the United States, and an LP was issued following its success. A third single, "Baby Take Me in Your Arms", was not a hit in the UK but cracked the Top 30 in the U.S. and Canada, justifying the release of a North American album. At the time of this single's success, Turton was hurt in a car crash, and so he did not make any live appearances.
