Johnny Wakelin (born 1939, Brighton, Sussex, England) is a British Pye Records recording artist. He had his first outings in clubs in his hometown but without big success. Then he got the idea of writing a homage to the boxing champion Muhammad Ali who fought on 30 October 1974 in Kinshasa against George Foreman gaining victory in the eighth round. In January 1975 Wakelin's "Black Superman" reached the charts. Wikipedia
