Roy Tempest

British booking agent, talent manager and concert promoter.
A controversial figure in the music industry, in the late 1960s he masterminded an impersonation fraud, in which impostors pretended to be American music celebrities such as the Temptations, the Drifters, the Four Tops, the Isley Brothers, the Impressions, Little Anthony & the Imperials, the Marvelettes, etc. and performed on stages in clubs and venues across the UK.
The cost of the legal actions taken by various organisations against him in respect of the fake acts took its toll and all his promotional and management companies forced into bankruptcy.
