I am obsessed with Anthony Newley. It’s a true love affair, only sadly he never knew about it. There is something bigger than life about him - he will never die. Read the wonderful biography Stop the World by Garth Bardsley; you’ll understand the man behind the legend. I bless TH-cam for giving us so many of his great performances.
I have been a Newley fan since the year dot....but it is only whilst listening to him sing this song I've realised was a strong and excellent voice he had, bless him, he should have been knighted years prior to his death. RIP Anthony, we miss you!
Hello "newleyadmirer"! That name definitely fits me also! I've been a fan for at least 50 years! As Sinatra said about Eleanor Powell in "That's Entertainment", "You can sit around and hope but...you'll never see the likes of this again." Newley's talent was impossible to measure. All of the youtube posts of him are wonderful but I have a special affection for the clips of him with Sammy Davis Jr. However this one is great also and I'll come back to it often. My sincere thanks to Sandy for posting!
I assume Chaplin was a flop I've certainly never heard of it. Shame. Child star, actor, singer, composer even directed films. A wonderful man- mr Newley I mean not Chaplin.. I was born in the late 70's after mr. Newleys heyday but I have seen most of his films, tv etc and I'm familiar with stop the world and the smell... That film - the small world of Sammy Lee - I think I'll have to check IMDB- is one of the greatest performances ever. It's great to think with Chaplin etc that there is still so juch more to discover. I think he wrote that finney musical film Scrooge as well - with Bricusse I presume. When I hear him sing pop goes the weasel I am in heaven. Someone told me he appeared in Eastenders which seems kind of rediculous. Does anyone know? Guess it's back to IMDB or wiki. Thank you for this.
Anthony Newley was such an exciting and daring performer who always sent chills down my spine whenever I saw him - one of the greats!

That man was a genius.
I saw his Chaplin! His acting in the show as Chaplin in the Madam Butterfingers.... incredible!
One genius portraying another genius.
This song and "When You Gotta Go" should be more well known and potential standards, they're that good!
So incredibly great, Anthony Newley in another of his many brilliant musical moments...nobody compares to this iconic genius
A LEGEND I HAVE LOVED ALL MY LIFE........SHOULD HAVE LIVED FOREVER.. ❤️

So sad to lose such a great talent.
I'm pleased I found this gem of a clip. What a talent!
Love his performances ❤️😳🇺🇸
Love him and remember his fun personality when l met him in Beverly hills
Gosh, I was born too early.....Have always loved him. This is wonderful:) All the songs I love, that haunt me, too, are his.....
i LOVE anthony ! sAW HIM ON broadway IN "STOP THE WORLD I WANT TO GET OFF"!!
I adore this song. I sing it a little faster and audiences love it. Tony was a lyrical genius.
Thanks for this. I just realized earlier today that his birthday was yesterday. This was a nice, little gift. For me.
Thank you Sandy. I don't know where you find these gems!
This clip was given to me by a great guy, Joseph Diaz.
I was hoping that someone would post something new for Mr. Newley's 85th birthday ans Sandy don't disappoint. Thank you so much.
You're very welcome.

Grande Mr. Newley (RIP)fue la inspiración en los inicios de uno de los grandes artistas, el inigualable camaleón del rock: David Bowie (RIP)...
Newley is a forgotten British Treasure by Americans .

Hello Sandy N, where can I get this recording please if possible?What talent Anthony had.Thanks so much for this
This was given to me by a friend.
Newly was out of this world great.
He makes whomever is the best nowadays look like an amateur making music for 13 year olds.
Even Bowie's speaking voice was the same as Tony's! weird!
