Come Quote by David Essex
“I was at one of the Krays' clubs, El Morocco. I was singing with Dudley Moore on the piano. Then Ronnie said, 'Come into the office, son.' I didn't even realise the gravity of it. He said, 'You got a manager?' So I said, 'No, I'm OK thanks, Ron. I've got a manager.' He said, 'Well, if you need anybody, you know where to come.'”
