  • Newly discovered footage of Britain's answer to Elvis Presley singing at a small London venue when he was 20 years old. BILLY was extremely shy offstage but wild on and here you see him completely mobbed by girls at the end.

    He had far greater claim and credibility to be England's Elvis more so than Cliff Richard. Larry Parnes prevented Fury from writing more of his own material. The Sound of Fury showed the potential that Parnes snuffed out.

    • @sMansGuitars
      @sMansGuitars 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      At least it showed a few fellow Liverpudlians that you COULD write your own songs rather than relying upon Tin Pan Alley. It must've surely inspired Lennon & McCartney enough to show some "arrogance" to George Martin when insisting that THEY were the best song writers for Beatle records, not the "professionals" in London. Billy Fury's importance to what came after, shouldn't be ignored, even though some scoff at him and his "just copying Elvis." Hell, it was just enough to have a pop singer from the north, become a household name all over the UK when the business was all London based.

    So often the rather biege Cliff Richard is referred to as the British Elvis.Mainly due to his greater success than Billy Fury.But in reality as far ad musicality goes that title should go to yhis guy.Fury is without doubt the best British rock n roller ever to grace a stage.He is so underrated its criminal.

    • @user-cx5pl2tu2h
      @user-cx5pl2tu2h 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      When I was a kid, I always thought that Billy personified Presley (though Billy had his own unique stage movements) more so than Cliff. As John Lennon once remarked, ' "Elvis set the stage and we all followed". Billy sang some 'covers' but he also wrote and recorded his own songs.
      P.S. Cliff was also a pretty good mover. #"Move it".by Cliff, is an early brit-rock classic.

    HIS DOINGS REMEMBER ELVIS. EVEN THOUGH HIS SONGS ARE GREAT BOTH ROCK & ROLL AND A QUIET BALLAD. HE IS A GREAT IDOL AMONG ALL TEENAGERS IN THIS TIME AND PAST. ALL IN ALL, I THINK BILLY IS A GREAT SINGER AND HIS BAND MEMBERS. UNFORTUNATELY HE HAS GONE FROM US. REST IN PEACE OUR BEST ROCKER IN HEART AND KIDS 👍👍👍❤🙏❤

      Hi James , really interested in your comment , so just a moment ago I accessed your song on youtube , and I really liked it ; great lyrics and good melody . More to the point though , like yourself I too am a professional songwriter and also have many of my compositions on youtube . And quite coincidentally I've recently done a tribute song to our Australian counterpart of Billy . I don't know whether you've heard of Johnny O'Keefe . Australia's biggest rock n roll star of the fifties and early sixties. And like Billy , left us far too young . After I get my tribute song finished in the studio I'll get it up on youtube . Again James , I think you've done justice to Billy's memory with your great song . Thank you .

Lot of similarities between Him and Billy. Will look forward to your tribute to Johnny. I have an album called “Journey” songs with a 60’s feel it‘a my most recent, but I just give them away for the feedback which has been very good. Of course I will now be tracking yours. They won’t be able to stop me talking about this in the pub tonight. Thanks again Colin. Brilliant!

In fact on TH-cam there is a version of them both singing it together, though of course it’s not real, just dubbed over each other.
