    Died very young at 42 years, like Elvis Presley. The 10" album 'The Sound of Fury' is such a great album, a must for R 'n' R fans with all tracks penned by the man himself some under the pseudonym Wilber Wilberforce

    Billy.....sadly sadly missed.
    He's more than halfway to paradise now and he's in a more wonderous place than we are at the moment.
    R.I.P to a gentleman and a legend

    Many thanks for this. The Sound of Fury album was written by Billy Fury although some tracks were accredited to Wilbur Wilberforce which was an alternative name Billy used for songwriting. Billy also appeared in a early 70’s film called That’ll be the day starring David Essex alongside Ringo Starr, Keith Moon and Marty Wilde. The date Billy Fury died is a date forever in my mind as it was my 21st birthday.

    Billy also starred in a film called ,"I've got a Horse" alongside Amanda Barry with whom he had a short term relationship. Play it cool, was a great film also starring Helen Shapiro, Shane Fenton and the Fentones (Alvin Stardust, not forgetting Bernie Winters and a few more well known British faces. I have to admit I was a great Bill Fury fan and 1963,the only time I was to see him live at the Liverpool Empire he was too ill to attend. He was 6 yrs older than myself and may he rest in peace.

    Hi Paul, I live 5 miles from Billy’s grave, and visited his grave earlier this year. It’s a lovely cemetery, with an area of commonwealth war graves too. Paul, if you had’ve looked to your right from Billy’s grave, about 5 graves down, you would see the grave of Annie Lennox’s son. ❤️‍🩹 Well done Paul, another nicely narrated video.

    In West Hampstead there is a very grubby alleyway named Billy Fury Way. Apparently it was given the name in 2011 and an image of Billy was added to a nearby wall. It may have seemed like a good idea at the time but it is hardly a fitting tribute to Billy. I would also mention how much I enjoy Paul's accent. It is too refined to be called Scouse so I suppose I should call it Liverpudlian!
