    Such a gentleman and gentle man, most of his short life he suffered pain, illness and operations, we all should spare a thought for people like Billy when we have our pathetic day to day moans and minor problems............. R.I.P the great Billy Fury.

    I had never seen this interview before I guess I was living down under and still am to me been brought up in the UK
    and what a great guy he really was after what he as gone through and can sit there so humble and grateful
    and to care about the wild life that I did not know about and I guess a lot people didn’t
    to me he was the most underrated singer of the early 60 ‘s not given the recognition he deserved
    and more so when the Beatles hit but he did have one thing oven them he had more top 40 hits
    than the Beatles as he help put Liverpool on the map in Britain anyway
    a great singer and writer as I believe he Wrote a lot of his own songs ??
    we lost a great guy and singer RIP but never forgotten

    Nice to hear Billy's story from his own lips, and to understand more. TWENTY NINE hit singles, was it? He had a most attractive voice, was very good looking, a great performer and excellent dress sense, fantastic hair, loads of good songs, perhaps Britain's most convincing rock & roller. Top ballads also.
    Incase you hadn't guessed, I like him RIP BILL

    20:52 Such a lovely man. He was very kind to me one day back in the ‘60s at a TOTP recording in Manchester. My friend fainted and I was running down a corridor to get her a drink of water when I ran slap bang into Billy’s arms. He asked “Where are you going to in such a hurry?” When I explained he helped out but I can’t now remember what actually happened after that. I’ve told the tale many times. 😄❤️
