Billy Fury and the Tornadoes - Nobody's Child

[ENACODNOM]

This 1963 EP is surely very rare today!

[sixtiesarewe]

jesus h christ the worst version of this song ive ever heard. billy what were you thinkin?

elvis? cliff/? no its like a robot singing wtf?? nae wonder nobody remembers you. you sang shite songs.but by you had a unique voice so fuckin sad this pish

[croonerman100]

Timotastic..?? dont ya mean he WAS.?? beautiful singing...

[ScotsjohnSE]

Billy Fury does a great job with this song, thanks for posting! However one of the most moving versions was sung by Lonnie Donegan! Alas it has been removed from YouTube, some problem with UMG? If anyone can upload Lonnie's version it would be a treat for us all!

[amimillie]

Check out Waylon Jennings' Dreaming My Dreams With You.

Best wishes to highlander434.

[timotastic]

Billy Fury is much, much better than Cliff Richard..!!!

[357HFC]

I'd love to hear Barnsey or Mossy sing this. RIP Billy, gone before I got to know you but I love your music and the way you sing it.

[highlander434]

I spent my first 4 years in an orphanage, then 3 foster homes till I was fostered long term and they became my family, this song i sang in the 60s with sadness of those times, just thought i would play it again, today I am somebodys child, I have 7 children and 11 grand children, and over the years have given much that others may become somebodys child, I thank God for the chance I have had, my wife died 2007 so i have known pain but plenty joy.( now remarried.) secure in Gods love. harry

[TheDutch1949]

I bought this EP when it was released in the shop in the 60's a treasured possession the song my husband and I used to listen to when we started courting all those years ago, wonderful, Billy my favourite singer. He is truly Britain's greatest singer.

[pappy154451956]

great song--could anyone place on here fury's song --WHERE DO YOU RUN ? -written by Neil Diamond ?

[Xpinger]

@pappy154451956

watch?v=iu1y4evzjPA

[ianbn3]

fantastic version so haunting

[mastrofangelz]

i <3 this

[Lakrits3]

I heard about this song from a book I'm reading right now. It's about John Lennon's childhood, and a band member from the Quarry Men said that John used to sing this with great emotion.

Is this Billy Fury the one who wrote the song?

[ElToroCa]

@Lakrits3 Hank Snow wrote it.

[Xpinger]

@Lakrits3

Hi, according to various independent sources on the Internet the song "Nobody's Child" was written by Cy Coben and Mel Foree; and it was apparently first recorded by Hank Snow in 1949. It seems that Hank snow recorded quite a few of Coben's songs during his career :)

[kimmie0211]

This always brings tears to my eyes. It takes me bad to when I was a teenager. Billy was a GREAT entertainer and is sadly missed x

[arrmatrading]

i soobed when i first heard this song,,,,,,,,, and it still gets to me now...

[michelescoones]

still makes me cry every time!

[cherryb45]

My mum used to sing this to me and it would make me cry..she had an amazing voice.... and she would asked me why I asked her to sing it if it made me cry...my eyes are all teary ..just hearing it now such a beautiful and sad song

[joeoli1]

where can I find a karaoke version? any ideas guys?

Thanks for sharing

[Col7777]

I remember Billy very well, I even mane my German Shepherd dog after him 'Fury'

Shame he always looked ill to me, he had Rheumatic fever as a child and suffered with it all his life, eventually it effected his heart and he died in Jan 1983 or there abouts.

[whirlbirdy]

my mummys song.

[ROLBAAND]

sweet as a nut luv it

[Custhydo]

I love this song, and Billy sings it so well. It makes me cry everytime I hear it. Thanks for posting thou'.....R.I.P. Billy

[sukes58]

the verse that is missing goes as follows

People come for children and take them for their own

But they all seem to pass me by and I am left alone

I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blind

They always take some other child and I am left behind

[kb9kbu]

@sukes58 Yes, I forgot about that verse. I have the words & music to this song.

[sukes58]

@kb9kbu but every song sung by billy fury of this song has that verse missing so i don't know if he missed it out

[357HFC]

Not the original version, but let me know if you find someone who sings this as well as Billy. A real artist and i'm realiably informed better live than on record. A bit like jimmy Barnes.

[sukes58]

@357HFC sean ofarrell sang this he is irish singer and he does this great too a longer version too

[sukes58]

@357HFC listen to sean o'farrell an irish singer he is on youtube he is the best at this song

[binkle1]

Ringo says he used to sing this to his mother to make him cry.

[rockabillypirate]

First time I heard Billy Fury was in 1979. He is still my great inspiration today. Billy R.I.P

[Johindes]

OMG this is one of my songs ever and I never ever heard this version at all. I love it!! Wow he sounds so much like like Elvis.

[BennyxCap]

Aww quality!

[MagsFury]

Nice video ... Billy was born Ronald Wycherley, no middle name. I'm a friend of his mum so have that on very good authority.
