Apparently it was freezing in the museum when Billy filmed this. It would likely have been in winter, outside of the visiting season - SSSM didn't open to the public all year round until only recently - so there was probably no heating on. Billy would have needed that jacket!
Such a beautiful voice that we all miss,shame that few people got the chance to hear that voice over the years that i feel is now up to us to introduce him to a wider audience so that people can hear which should have been one of the greatest singers in the world, but in our hearts he will always be,and special.
This song makes me cry every time I hear it...not only was Billy a hugely attractive individual, he was a massive talent, and I miss him. I fell in love with him when I saw him performing "Party Fears Two" on TV...who knows what further greatness he would have created? x
I get some small comfort from the thought that I've stood in that same place that Billy stood (in Scotland Street School Museum), even if it was years later. Pathetic, I know, but it means something to me. :-)
You are sweet to share your experience. I can definately relate. Once spurned by a lover, I would seek solace knowing we stood underneath the same full moon at that time of love lost......alas....baby.....
Billy & Bubba - Infinite presense within, in Whom all live; Joy supreme, flooding all with eternal peace, I adore thee. I feel thy calm. As deep cries unto deep, so my thoughts cries unto thee and Thous dost answer.I am renewed and refreshed; my being responds to Thy love, and I am complete in Thee.O lover of my soul and Keeper of my Spirit, none can separate us, for we are one. So shall Thy Wisdom guide me, Thy Presence dwell within me, Thy Love keep me now and forevermore. I rest in Thee. SOM
@dancingchexmix lovely comment. I had never really followed his music to be honest and hadn't been at all convinced by the (little) I had heard of his singing until a pal of mine (and friend of his) played me this track, FWIW I think it is simply one of the best vocal performances by anyone, ever. greetings from Dundee.
@kerrzo1971 oh my God....im scottish too kerrzo,from fife...he had a voice that was too good for any record company..he also refused to become a 'puppet',where is Jimm'ys??that the ice cream place?.
One of his best! Billy died 15 years ago today...

The Voice Of Velvet shines 'big time' on this song,is it any wonder that fellow singers such as Eddie Reader quote Billy as being a Mavrick??

This is not song by Yello. It's only produced by Boris Blank, but performed by Billy MacKenzie & had appeared on his album 'Outernational' in 1992.
