So he said he'd love to come down and meet me. We corresponded for a year or two, until eventually he did appear, and he looked the same then as he always did - immaculate. The suit, the very highly polished shoes, the tie, the cufflinks - terribly correct, more British than I think he needed to be. But he kept this thing up, and it wasn't an image. That was what he presented to the world. He blushed easily. He couldn't take compliments."

Hi anon! Thanks for the question.

And holy cow what a question. I tried looking several minutes ago myself, and I've ended up with nothing. The original soundtrack itself just lists "Mark Lester" (who we know didn't do his own singing as Oliver) as well as "ensemble" for "Who Will Buy?". Not much help there.

I'm really sorry anon, but I'm afraid I can't be of much help here. My suggestion would be to ask on other social media sites and perhaps help for a random person to help. I'd also recommend perhaps posting in the Silver Screen Oasis forum (this is a new forum that was created after Turner Classic Movies shut down its message boards) and asking. I don't think you're gonna find much luck, but you just never know about these things.

I'm also afraid that all the relevant people who would know the answer are mostly dead. I guess you could also try figuring out how to contact Mark Lester or Shani Wallis (I don't think that they would know, but they might know/knew someone who did know)? And yes, Shani Wallis is still kicking at 89 years old!

I know this wasn't terribly satisfying, but hopefully this helps?
