Billy Howard is a British comedy impressionist, who appeared on the ITV series Who Do You Do?, in the early 1970s, alongside other impressionists such as Faith Brown. Howard was born in Edgware, London, England. He commenced his musical career as a jazz trumpeter and guitarist, playing in jazz combos in the early 1960s. In 1976, his single, "King Of The Cops", a comic version of the hit "King of the Road", reached No. 6 in the UK Singles Chart; it featured his impressions of TV cops including Kojak, Columbo, Steve McGarrett in Hawaii Five-O, McCloud, Ironside and Cannon. Several months later, a follow-up, "The Disco Cops", was also released, but did not chart, and another comic record by Howard, "Frantic Frog (Parts 1 and 2)", released in 1977, also failed to chart.
