  • One of my Dads favourites ,from Ready Steady Go. A great singer and wonderful song. They really don't make them like this anymore. Wonderful.

  • Billy could sing so good and the video,s are great. thanks for posting

  • I have recently re-discovered Billy by going to YouTube and I am so happy as I have recently bought Billy Fury His Wondrous Story on DVD from Amazon and it is so good. A great tribute to a wonderful perfomer. I grew up in England and remember how popular he was . I watched him when he came back in the early 80's and he was still so good and so very gorgeous. I was hoping he would be around for a long time. But no such luck! So unfair ! He seemed to be a really lovely gentle man. RIP!!!

  • Such a beautiful man <3

  • Dearest Billy's birthday 17 April 2011...Palm Sunday...RIP most precious darling.

  • @samandstu 5th. November 1977. Ruby Winters got to no 4 in the u.k. Good song but Billy's was better imo. Take care

  • Comment removed

  • @samandstu Ruby Winters 1977

  • absolutely love this song, MY all time favourite... xx

  • How can such a handsome boy have such a cracking voice? God Bless ya Billy.

  • ...classic...from billy 

  • ...this is good ...I also like Skeeter Davis's version...!

  • @Elvis68100 This is true...I don't question that. Each has his/her own opinion, I just preferred Billy Fury to Elvis, that's all.

  • can we pa-lkeeeze have the single 45 version of "i will".

  • @tenniscollector

    watch?v=vQ9PyKSzNQE

  • I could listen to him forever...............Brillian­t

  • drinking custard from a donkeys arse.WTF.deb1402 i would have loved to been at pontins at the time great stuff....

  • oh loved billy fury greatest day of my life was seing him at pontins and getting his autograph,,, xx

  • billy the greatest even if he drank custard from a donkeys arse who gives a f.... dont judge others until we look how perfect we all are think before playing god rock on billy you are awesome xx

  • there was billy fury and then there was matt munro, 2 underarted but very talented english heroes of music

  • Nice song,nice version, also record by Dean Martin.

  • he reminds me of elvis on this vidio ,both sadly missed.

  • Billy was a great singer, a great performer and a really nice bloke. Just before his sadly premature death, he was in the next bed to my mate`s dad in hospital ! And by another strange coincidence, my Mum was also in the London Hospital when Adam Faith was there; I seem to remember she said that a white Rolls Royce reg. no. AF1 had come to pick him up!!!

  • OUR BILLY..ALWAYS 100%

  • How he's nearly laughing when he's singing on the steps!

  • So glad that i found this, what a voice. So sad that he died so young.

  • Agreed, it was very sad that he lived that long instead of earlier, like some people did when their lifetime was over for good or worse than that sometimes.

  • Comment removed

  • Look how stoned Billy is, he can barely open his eyes. He was smoking dope in the fifties when these mods were still at school. What a beautiful man in every way. The best thing to come from Liverpool by a long chalk.

  • @CountThrillhammer Well ??? I travelled back from Ireland with Billy Fury in late 50s. Was with him for many many hours. I never saw any of what you write. Lovely man, heart of gold, died so young (heart attack)

  • That doesn't surpise me. If you watch the excellent Billy Fury Story , not only will you see footage of Billy smoking spliffs and what has to be the biggest home made pipe I've ever seen ( about four feet ) but his road manager tells how Billy preferred a smoke to booze as he had a dodgy ticker. Dickie Pride - another rock 'n roller - was a friend of Billy's and a heroin addict. It wasn't all milkshakes and brylcreem. Billy will live forever - no one is fit to judge him.

  • Yes I know, just trying to protect someone who cannot defend themselves. It was So a different world then. Lets always remember the good times..........

  • You can't expect him to offer you a spliff like it was a casual thing to do in the fifties, it wasn't. Homosexuality was illegal and we had Cliff Richard instead of Little Richard. People who were around the docks such as Billy was in Liverpool were exposed to everything that was imported. Billy was a clever bloke, he would have sussed you out as a square immediately. You won't believe this either - Elvis Presley took drugs ! His favourite was Dilaudid. Look it up.

  • Agreed, guess nobody REALLY knew the dangers . We were all lucky at that time living for the moment, reason WE made it through.

  • The British Bobby Darin

  • No one compared to BiIly.I never liked Elvis,but Billy was exceptional.I loved him in my teen and wrote his name all over my school books.I still get tearful thinking of his short life and how ill he looked at the end.RIP Billy

  • This is Billy performing on "Ready Steady Go". Spot Cathy McGowan dancing with the audience.

  • @TheWhitehall i don,t think that is cathy, i believe it is SANDIE SHAW. billy & adam faith my hero,s, both sadly gone now

  • @peggynag Hi, Just viewed the film again. At 1.18 -1.20 you will see Cathy dancing with Lionel Morton of the Four Pennies. I think at 1.41 -1.42 there is a brief glimpse of someone who "could" be Sandie Shaw.

    About 25 years ago I saw Adam Faith jogging in Battersea Park in South London. He seemed a nice bloke.

  • Remembering Billy Fury today.  17th of April 1940 - 28th January 1983

  • God he had such Killer looks! and he had a great voice too. I personally think he was better than Elvis. Rest in Peace Billy xx

  • great song, fantastic singer, a bit out of time perhaps

  • Elvis may not have been the fiery rock 'n' roller' he once was but he had some great hits in the 1960's and 1970's. He had 337 weeks in the U.K. Top 75 in 1970's alone(with 16 top ten hits). So if the rock n roller in Elvis died in 1960, a more consumate balladeer who still could rock emerged . Also he spent major part of 1960's in the Hollywood. So this was one man who could decide what wanted to do irrespective of the theory of supply & demand in the market.

  • After all this years, for me still great!!

  • Love this one! Thanks to m8united for posting the song and video along with ariesgypsy for sharing it!

  • one of the very best RIP

  • He was my 2nd fav, after Ricky Nelson :-)

    Lovely to hear ya share...tks.

  • I`ve just listened to the CD "His Wondrous Story",which I was given last Xmas. I always thought he was great,but the second half of this CD introduced me to songs I hadn`t heard before. There`s a fabulous assortment,shades of Gene Pitney and Elvis,but in the end it`s his own raw talent that you remember. He`s not just "Halfway to Paridise",most people`s favourite,just like Connie Francis is not "Lipstick on Your Collar". Listen to her sing "Siboney"to understand.

    Billy:unmatched.

  • Elvis first hit was 1956 Billy's was 1959.

    How did Elvis wannabe someone he had never heard of before 1959?????

    Anyway I wish I could sing like Billy Fury or Elvis or any of the greats.

  • My comment was to be taken in jest, although early Elvis was great, the post-army version was a mere shadow of his former glory, and the tragic waste of the talent and life makes it worse.

  • Sorry I misundertook your comment, and as John Lennon said when asked about Elvis' death - "Elvis died the day he went into the army"

    But I am a true Elvis fan and appreciated him for his great voice, as far as the waste of life - hmmm let me see - you can't go out and be a regular person, you're surrounded by people always kissing your butt, your natural schedule is a mess you're up all night & sleep all day. Need drugs to counter that. Yep normal life so you shouldn't make any mistakes

  • @boothl232

    That's Cathy McGowan in there dancing. Ready Seady Go. I miss those days!!

  • @boothl232 "What kind of crap are you talking?? You're the wanna be, but no doubt you can't sing at all!""

  • @Grifiki Would you like to explain to me what you mean by crap. I said "I wish I could sing like Billy Fury or Elvis or any of the greats." which is an admission that I can't sing. That admission has been on here for a year. The FACT that Elvis had his first hit 3 year's before Billy is not crap, neither is the quote from Lennon. If you would like to dispute the facts that I stated then please post your sources. Stop being a dick.

  • Classic haircut from a wonderful era, great performance Billy.

  • On 10 May 1960 Fury was a star looking for a backup band. Guess who turned up to audition??John, Paul,George,Stuart,The Silver Beetles, along with stand-in drummer Johnny Hutchinson(Their drummer at the time,Tommy Moore did not arrive until later) lost the chance to back Fury. That group turned out to be The Beatles!!!

  • billy did not want the beatles he said john would be trouble

  • either side of the pond he was the best in my veiw

  • "you were the best billy", the very best.

  • This performance is from the "Ready Steady Go" Friday night TV Show. The Weekend Starts Here! As ever, Bill in top form.

  • Beautiful guy in all respects - sadly missed.

  • Billy does a great job of this Vic Dana song.Until around 1963,many UK hits were in fact"cover songs" of American hits..there were a few exceptions...such as Eden Kane,Adam Faith,Johnny Leyton and Helen Shapriro,Cliff Richard and Mike Berry.

  • TO ME BILLY FURY IS JUST BILLY GOD BLESS

  • sex on legs

  • Saw him many times, he was quiet and cute. He made good some songs.

    This crew of Marty Wilde,The Crickets,Johnny ?? Eden Kane.toured a lot together..and although I was in his fan club, never in a million years could he be classed as better than Elvis...

  • I went to the "Big" Rock "N" Roll Show at Wembley in 1972. Got delayed and missed Billy`s set. But did see Jerry Lee Lewis,Bill Haley, Little Richard and Chuck Berry. So, all was not lost! BF without question, Britains best and most underated pop

    /rock performer.

  • his shy~ness made him so..apealing...!

  • instead of all this bickering about this and that, cant we just get back to the music? please!!! amazing performance what a true legend!

  • Just amazing, what a voice.

  • Thanks, m8united.

  • what a lively group we have here.........

  • Repent you rat bags

  • Dark Knight your a complete idiot we dont come on here to see your stupid comments keep them for your side of the pond No i dont like Yanks especially ones with biased one dimentional views like you have

  • Brilliant song - a surely like Matt Monro a greatly missed singer

  • children children please,lets keep the bickering and back biting in the playground yeah ?this is for enjoying the music and passing relevant comments,NOT some bitchfest ,please dont spoil it for those who have come on here to enjoy the site xxx

  • Poor boy. Died too soon. He may died pennilless, but he was a great singer, and his charisma just couldn't be bought.

  • Britains greatest rock n roll singer!!!!!!!!!!!

  • linda cancion algo parecido a una de Elvis presley !

  • he is my coz but he died 20 years ago

  • Emb ist dont try and educate a stupid thick Yank they think they know everything when in reallity they know fuck all

  • Wow, great broad brush, generalization sweeping indictment there, champ. Go drink some tea and get your teeth fixed, ya limey.

  • Exactly - thats why the worlds so fucked up because America controls everything

  • elvis and billy are two entities....the only brit to be compaired to elvis was Cliff Richards.  We had a female elvis....now top that one.

  • Brilliant!

  • Superb!!!

  • billy was a big fan of elvis they are both great artist so enjoy them

  • Matter of opinon mate Bily didnt have the mega bucks supporting him he made it on raw talent

  • wot total fukin arsehole u r

  • caliber of elvis , dont make me laugh ,although i do admit in a donut eating competion elvis would have won hands down the fat talentless twat..

  • HAHAHAHA!!! You're stupidity knows no bounds.

  • welll i appreciate the music of both elvis and billy fury,

  • Your reply to me is exactly what i am talking about. I didn't enter into your argument just wanted to know WHY you have to post such negative comments that are just disrespectful. I grew up listening to Billy Fury and just wanted to watch and remember BUT in the process as i am tryng to see if other people are remembering too. I come across comments like yours. And it was also a general statement for all of the people that ruin videos by posting things they have no clue about.

  • Who cares. Let it go for crying outloud. If you really wanted it to go away, you would just ignore it, but instead, you fan the flames and build it up again. Again, I'll cut you a break and won't say anything negative, but if you want to engage some more, I can bring it and you'll have a hard time sleeping tonight. We don't want that. Have a nice day.

  • The only person fanning flames is you.Seems to be what you do best. WHY???

  • The ONLY one is me? Who started this up with me? YOU. Who continues to respond and persist the dialog? YOU. Again, I'll cut you one more break to let this go. Otherwise I'm going to unleash the "fury" on you.

  • Don't ask why. Some men just want to watch the world burn. Go to bed, unionjack65. You don't stand a chance in this if you really want to engage me. I pardon you. For now.

  • why dont you get a life and keep your thoughts to yourself: or better yet, express them to those who care to listen........

    billy had talent and sold millions,,,,,,how much money have you made?

  • Keep my thoughts to myself just as you just did? I'll follow your example, thanks. So money is the barometer in which we gauge ourselves? If that's the case, Britney Spears blows Silly Billy out of the water. Come up with a better argument than that, sport.

  • Why do you find it necessary to write such childish things. Its people like you that ruin these videos. What is there to argue about?? You try to watch something and have to put up with crude remarks. Obviously you don't know what you are talking about anyway.

  • You stirred up an argument from over a month ago. Congratulations, genius.

  • he inspired me to sing.check out gypwin

  • my opinion is billy was one of the best artist off his time..elvis was the same only one got marketed to the world bye colnel tom the rest as they say is history.rave on billy.

  • Softer, smoother than Elvis...Billy was the greatest and STILL is!

  • Billy was really tall anyone know how tall? he was a lovely man and a great singer.

  • this is truly a classic !!love it !!thanx ..Lyndloo..

  • the last comment was aimed at eugeenecradcockhead,no 1 else billy was better than elvis

  • the best english singer of his generation

  • you ignorant twat

  • were is the rock 'n' roll in this ballad ? billy fury was popular only in england

  • and so was Gene Vincent. The US ditched Vincent once they realised how one dimensional his material was. He remained popular in the UK but nowhere near as popular as Billy.

  • at last billy fury was popular only in uk. In France he never had a hit record. Gene Vincent in France was and is Revered like God

  • the teds hated him.

  • Hahaha! Whats with the cow at 0:30 ??? Doesnt that asshat know she's on camera?

  • Comment removed

  • ONE OF THE GREAT SINGERS OF ALL TIME.

  • brilliant clip -- what a talent!

  • only the best jesus what a warm voice

  • I do so hope that these old clips are saved by the british film institue or somewhere. I never got to see Billy live, he died when I was a teen but he is one of my favortie artists of all time.

  • American WUZ ROBBED!!! 10*****

  • Even if I'd never heard of Billy, based on this video I'd be asking - "Who IS this guy?"

  • Is it me or does the intro smack of james bond movie music?

  • He was/is under rated but had more talent and charisma than Elvis

  • Ruby Winters did a version of this great song in 1977,not a patch on Billy,s.

  • Elvis is Elvis and Billy is Billy !

    I love both !

  • I love all billy's music and always play it.Now my 2 grandaughters have got his cd's and listen to him with their friends.lets keep his music going

  • Billy was much better than Elvis in my opinion

  • A pointless argument. Both are there to be enjoyed.

  • BRILLIANT X DISCUSBLUE
