Billy was a superstar in the sixties with 24 hits under his belt. Sadly, ill-health due to a childhood illness shortened his life. He died at the age of 43. Listening to his music will always help keep his memory alive. thanks for sharing

Fury was easily in the top 3 of British pop stars of all time IMHO. Not only did he have the voice, the easy natural timing and the stage presence but you just have to look at the photos to see he was a REAL star, not made of plastic like so many of the others of his and later eras.
What a pity that relatively few people have seen this video - he was a rare talent, well ahead of his time.

Billy Fury helped to colour my teens, along with the other rock'n rollers and baladeers of that era We kids in UK had our own music for the first time ever - Radio Luxembourg, juke boxes and coffee bars are etched into my heart. Thanks snapshotofharlech for posting this gem and to those who, like me, remember the great talent and truly good man that Billy Fury was. RIP Billy x

He recorded so many songs and his voice was wonderfully natural and enchanting, growing up in Liverpool during the 1950's he outshone his closest rival, Elvis Presley. 🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏

America missed out on Billy Fury. Beautiful emotional voice. He could've passed for a great country music singer, along the lines of Faron Young, Ray Price, Jim Reeves, etc.

Billy was a class act. It beggars belief, he never had a No.1 hit, but "The Sound Of Fury" still remains the best pre-Beatles rock album to be made. Only Gene Vincent's second album
equaled it. He was a major influence on Alex Turner of The Arctic Monkeys. Gone, but not forgotten.

Adrina The Great

Simply competition at the time, you need to sell a lot of records quickly and faster than the competition is.
This song made no.3 but sold twice as many copies as " jealousy " that made no.2 in the UK charts.
Because it sold steady and continuously for a few month's, no huge burst of sales in a short space of time to push some seriously strong competition at the time out of the way

Billy Fury made some great records between 1959 and 1965 , which meant he was rarely out of the pop charts. Although he had a handful of hits prior to ‘Halfway to Paradise, ‘ it was this record which rocketed to number 1 and established him as one of Britain’s top selling single pop artists. Indeed, this record was Billy’s signature tune, a record which has become a timeless pop classic. Sadly, rheumatic fever, which he contracted as a boy, left him with a weak heart, which ultimately contributed to his fatal heart attack at the age of 42. Billy Fury. RIP.

My old friend the late John Kingstree introduced me to Billy's music. John helped with information for THE BILLY FURY EXPERIENCE SHOW , and i have the tapes from the BBC interviews that followed . Billy was exceptional in the music world , and in the hearts of the fans. His songs can captivate anyone who listens . I have a picture of me stood by his statue in Liverpool , and how i wish i was able to at least see him live once on stage. At least he left us with some great songs with that incredible voice of his that brings the lyrics to our hearts .
