Clint Holmes (born May 9, 1946), is a singer/songwriter/Las Vegas entertainer. He was born in Bournemouth, Dorset, England, the son of an American serviceman and an Englishwoman. He was raised in Buffalo, New York as a child. Holmes is perhaps best known for his #2 Pop hit on the Billboard Charts "Playground In My Mind" in 1973. The nursery rhyme-styled song features Holmes duetting with producer Paul Vance's son Phillip on the chorus. Initially a vocal music student at Fredonia State College, Holmes left school for the Army during the Vietnam War. He spent his 3-year enlistment (1967?1969) with the elite United States Army Chorus, and then remained in the Washington, D.C. area to launch his civilian career, singing in nightclubs up and down the East Coast. Holmes has been a Las Vegas show attraction since the early 1970s. In 2006, he closed his headlining show at Harrah's Las Vegas Casino, which renamed its main showroom for him. From
