Artist Bio:
Whistling Jack Smith was the stage name of British singer and musician Billy Moeller. He is best known for his 1967 hit single "I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman," which reached number 5 on the UK Singles Chart and number 20 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song features Moeller whistling the catchy melody accompanied by a brass band and a chorus of singers, creating a unique and memorable sound.


Despite the success of "I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman," Whistling Jack Smith remained a one-hit wonder, and Moeller never achieved the same level of commercial success with any of his other recordings. The true identity of Whistling Jack Smith was revealed in the 1980s, as Moeller had initially used the pseudonym to create a mysterious and enigmatic persona for the stage. Moeller's whistling skills and the infectious charm of "I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman" have ensured that Whistling Jack Smith remains a memorable figure in music history.
