Mark Williams

Former Dargaville High student Mark Williams began singing on TV's Free Ride while still a teen. Released in 1975, his self-titled debut album became one of the decade's biggest local sellers, thanks partly to number one single 'Yesterday Was Just the Beginning of My Life'. Tiring of hostile reaction to his androgynous look, Williams relocated to Australia in 1977. His next album made little impression there, but song ‘Show No Mercy’ later became a sports stadium classic. In 2005 he began singing for band Dragon.
