Leon Rosselson
Leon Rosselson (b. 1934) is a satirical songwriter and children's writer.
That Was The Week That Was
Britain's satire boom began on 24th November 1962 with the debut of a late-night Saturday television series called "That Was The Week That Was", hosted by David Frost. The huge cast of writers included Leon Rosselson, who wrote topical songs attacking corruption in government. The Profumo scandal had just broken and politicians were fair game. The program ran until 1963. It is not clear what Leon did thereafter but when he resurfaced in the '70s, he was a very skilled satirist.
