She was the sister of record producer Mike Stock and in 1986 married songwriter Johnny Worth,[1] who wrote the theme tune to the television series To Have And To Hold later in the year.[2] Stock recorded a demo of the song as Worth intended Marti Webb to sing the final version, but, as contractual requirements prevented Webb from doing so, ITV simply used Stock's demo.[3]
Demand for the theme was such that Stock re-recorded it for release on Sierra Records in October 1986, and it made the top 20 of the UK singles charts, Stock promoting it on Top of the Pops.[4]
It was however Stock's only release on record, making her a one-hit wonder. Stock died in January 2004, aged only 49.[5]
