US singer Al Martino, who scored the UK's first number one record, has died at the age of 82.

His song, Here In My Heart, took top spot when the New Musical Express introduced its chart in November 1952 and stayed there for nine weeks.

Martino, who also played Johnny Fontane in 1972 film The Godfather, died at his childhood home in Philadelphia.

The former bricklayer's other hits included Spanish Eyes, Can't Help Falling in Love and Volare.

RIP Al
