'''Stanley Bootle''', known as '''Stan Kelly-Bootle''' (15 September 1929 – 16 April 2014), was a British author, academic, singer-songwriter and computer scientist.

He took his stage name '''Stan Kelly''' (he was not known as Stan Kelly-Bootle in folk music circles) from the Irish folk song "Kelly, the boy from Killane". His best-known song is the "Liverpool Lullaby" or "The Mucky Kid" which was recorded in 1965 on the ''Three City Four'' LP and sung by Marian McKenzie. It was also sung by the [[Ian Campbell Folk Group]] on the ''Contemporary Campbells'' LP. It was later recorded by [[Judy Collins]] in 1966 for her album ''[[In My Life (Judy Collins album)|In My Life]]''.<ref>{{cite web|author=William Ruhlmann |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/in-my-life-mw0000195828 |title=In My Life - Judy Collins|publisher=AllMusic|access-date=2014-05-15}}</ref> [[Cilla Black]] recorded it three years later as the [[A-side and B-side|B-side]] to her pop hit "Conversations".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/Cilla-Black-Conversations/release/1466118 |title=Cilla Black - Conversations (Vinyl) at Discogs |publisher=Discogs|access-date=2014-05-15}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/Cilla-Black-Conversations/release/3607629 |title=Cilla Black - Conversations (Vinyl) at Discogs |publisher=Discogs|access-date=2014-05-15}}</ref> Kelly-Bootle achieved the first postgraduate [[Cambridge Diploma in Computer Science|degree in computer science]] in 1954, from the [[University of Cambridge]].
