I uploaded this (my fave BF tune) as the only version available on UTube, is from a tribute band (good though it is), but you can't beat the REAL THING!!
It has a wonderful breathy bass riff running through this song - only surpassed by Billy's wondrous voice - smooth and in perfect tune. I defy you not to get goosebumps while listening.
Original 1960 recording of Billy from CD - in my opinion, one of his best songs, and one that shouldn't be forgotten.

Beautiful Billy Fury! A Wondrous Place is an amazing song sung perfectly by Britain's best Rocker Billy Fury! Billy would surely still be singing to this day had he not been plagued by heart problems after contracting Rheumatic fever as a child and taken away from us at 42! Actually it is quite incredible Billy did so well considering that he was never in good health. What a waste of a wonderful talented and gorgeous looking man. Who was a gentle modest person in real life. RIP BILLY!

Beautiful song A Wondrous Place sung by the brilliant Billy Fury. An incredible singer and songwriter who sadly passed away due to a lifetime of heart ailments. Billy was by far the best British rocker ever and he had an incredibly successful career which was unfortunately interrupted several times by heart surgeries . Miss you Billy you ere wonderful. Rest in peace!

@DrConnorful
Right this minute, probably.
But since they're now using a version of this song for an ad on UKtv - many I suspect - will be looking it up.
Thanks for your comment. :)

From a humble beginning (tugboat boy on the Mersey river) Billy had the devilish good looks, unique aura and such a memorable voice to carve a place in sixties musical history. He bravely tested his talent early by writing original tracks which were sadly reined in by over zealous managers and publishers. There is one newspaper shot of him standing next to Elvis at the height of his fame. And you know what he looked better....
