It's nice to see someone who got what he dreamed of..

And having got it, it didn't sour him.

A gent..

[meame101]

@rhughes38 He is English. From Surrey supposedly. He put on the irish accent for Finians rainbow. Maybe he has family over here though.

What a smashing clip and a great speech and all without a Cue Card.

[kevinherbert]

Gr8 post...he's a legend in Australia....

[Nadiacloete]

@TheDiddlysquat Thanks for that! and he certainly did! We had no TV in SA for a long time, so didn't see anything of him later on, and I often wondered what had happened to him. Loved him to bits, so was very pleased to see all that had happened to and with him!

[Nadiacloete]

Ah remember seeing Tommy in Benoni, South Africa in 1957. Absolutely loved him!!!

[iangordoncraig]

A born entertainer and a true star. Britain's finest.

[MsRosy45]

[mariecsmith]

just seen him in Scrooge - brilliant - dancing and singing

[sweeney169]

Tommy Steele? Couldn't sing. Couldn't act. He got lucky on the coat tails of American Rock' and Roll. He made a career out of NOTHING! Lucky bastard. No Talent.

[Noallegiance]

@sweeney169 where as sweeney169 has it all.

[TZEITEL10]

@sweeney169 Well you just look around at what we have now,few of them are nave any originality.For aman who has no talent,he has had an astonishing career.He has worked hard and given pleasure to many people.

@antman26g Thanks for the info, I really did think he was dead. Do you know if he's still into showbiz or if he's given it up?

[rwells47]

Thanks for sharing this video! Very funny stuff! Ron

[gazzymodo]

Oh... and the title of the album was "MY LIFE, MY SONG", and of course is quite difficult to find these days.

[gazzymodo]

Tommy released an autobiographical album through PYE records in 1974. He wrote all the songs, and painted all the pictures in the booklet within it's gatefold sleeve. I thought it was superb, and deserves a digital reissue !

[sail1948]

I thought he was dead.

[Michaelxxx1936]

Happy Birthday Tommy. Now we're BOTH 73 !!!

[klepzo]

47? He looks like 17.

[doorman1256]

todays so called acts could learn so much from people like this for me a real star

[diddydiddycool]

Intelligent, talented man. Funny how half his speech goes way over the heads of those assembled.

[u2beuser2]

WOW! 47! Anyways,thanks....I luv Tommy Steele! Something about him reminds me of Hugh Grant.....his accent.
