WOW the first pop star to really swing in the UK. Remember the film with nacy Whisky? Freight train. And he never lost his roots, myage witheld!!!! for health reasons!!!!
We had Tommy hitting our shores before Elvis. This and "Butterfingers" were my two favourites and when "The Tommy Steele Story" came to our cinemas, I was thrilled when he sang these two lovely melodies. Thanks for the memory. Andy - Singapore
Any song that starts off with "whistling" normally is a happy song and this one fits the bill! Thanks to Brian for sharing and to empireken for posting it!
A Handful Of Songs By Tommy Steele Is A Good Song To Listen Too And All Radio Stations Should Play This Song On Their Station Now So All People Can Hear This Song
Its so good hear this after so many years i was 13 and could'nt stay away from his film The Tommy Steele storey wish i could turn the clock back to those innoncent teenage times see ya Jimmy
Yes, it was used as the theme to a children's series from the mid-1970s to early-1980s called "A Handful Of Songs". It featured former Coronation Street star Kathy Jones and a guy playing a guitar, and they simply sang songs!
takes me back to being a 14 year old living in liverpool, showing my age now, thanks for the old black and white memory, although im sure life was in colour in 1957.
ahh the old broken down buildings and cobbled streets with back to back terraces and disabled kids being pushed around in wheelbarrows by there older siblings
just seen the interview on tv with alan tichmarch, totally enthralled,
i remember tommy with rock with the caveman.
What a wonerful person, entertainer, singer, writer, AND a lover of people.
Sing forever Tommy.

So many happy memories of the l950's. Tommy Steele was so popular. He
has had a great career and still on the stage doing what he does best....entertain
people. He looks amazing. Keep going Tommy.
