Profile of the Sixties pop star who became an unlikely success singing pre-war songs and playing the ukelele. His unpredictable career would see him become an unexpected hero of the hippie counterculture and famously marry three times - once on live television. However, his unusual habits - including a cleanliness fixation that led him to wear nappies and shower six times a day - put a strain on these relationships.
