In 1959 Wharton adopted the name Murray and moved into an acting career with the Theatre Workshop company in Stratford, East London, under the direction of legendary theatre director Joan Littlewood. He appeared in The first production of Fings Ain't Wot They Used To Be at Stratford before transferring to London's West End theatre, Wyndam's, as understudy to Alfred Lynch in the title role of The Hostage then played a small role in the Arnold Wesker one-act play “Last Day In Dreamland” at the Lyric Hammersmith, and interspersed acting in minor film roles ("Never Let Go" - 1960), TV parts and commecials with solo record releases on Decca Records Decca F11203 1960 Teen Angel/Paper Doll, Decca F11225 1960 All OnMy Own/ String Along, Decca F11345 1961 When You Walked Out/Send For Me, and song writing with Tony Crombie before working for 9 months (1961) as A&R man at Decca Records (at 20 years of age, the youngest A&R man in the U.K.). His first production, Love is Like A Violin sung by Ken Dodd went to No.1 in the charts and this was followed by hits with Mark Wynter and Rhet Stoller - Chariot, featuring the first 'double-tracked' guitar, and reaching No.13 in the U.K. charts. Wharton gave much needed work to jazz musicians, at a time when they were 'out of fashion' and struggling to find work, by producing a pioneering stereophonic album, Sweet Wide and Blue, with Stan Tracy (Piano), Victor Feldman (vibes), Lenny Bush (bass), Tony Crombie (drums) and others, and he recorded albums and singles with Mantovani, Winifred Atwell, and several other Decca Stars before leaving Decca, disillusioned, and finally outraged when he was not allowed to produce Portrait Of My Love with Matt Munro due to 'office politics' ("Matt was a 'session singer' – deemed a 'no-hoper' - and the song was written by Norman Newell, an A&R man with EMI, and the newly-formed A&R panel at Decca weren't prepared to allow me a budget to promote the 'competition'.") - Portrait Of My Love was shortly thereafter released by EMI and scored a No.1 chart success. He returned to acting and travelled to South Africa to visit his old partner Mickie Most who he helped and encouraged to produce his own records, and taught to handle a mixing desk in the studios there.
