at least facially, Peter Asher from the English singing duo Peter and Gordon. Asher has the same silly grin that Powers has, based on early '60s appearances the two made on shows like Hullabaloo.

Yes, and the voice based on David Essex in the film That'll Be The Day.

Go to Youtube and put in the search box That'll be the day film and your jaw will drop when you hear David Essex speak.
