  • He was an amazing performer. May he rest in peace.

  • yes there was no "rap" back in his day!,but he was well ahead of his time,as in the words to his songs would be like a rap in this day.so yes he was in effect the very first rap artist!..better than the crap out thse days...

  • Even now I find this amazing his musicanship was incredible, great control and very funny at the same time.

  • Very good. You lot should check out I told my baby. Proper wit there.

  • @truescouser1 George formby a rap artist wtf?! George was a legend in his own right but to associate him with the worst genre in music is outrageous.

  • ba gwai lo... cocksucka! mr wu no window cleana!

  • How some of his songs never got got air play does surprise me so cheeky and near the knuckle you can only laugh and admire his guts at singing those songs but I guess in those days his cheek and wit was a big lift to all those who risked their lives for our country and I cant remember the last time one of his films was on tv so many youngsters may just find this a real change from some of the crap they usually watch .

  • My God that man could make the banjo sing. Remarkable.

  • Mmm... I know everyones entitled to their oppinion, but thats a bit rash isnt it?

    "a sad freak of nature..."

    Millions of people like mr Formby, and I don't see why your watching one of his videos if you don't like him. Keep your rash and disgusting oppinions to your self next time, you can fantasise over piss taking formby in your spare time.
