Around The Old Camp Fire

Frank Pearson,1938 - 2003, was the northern entertainer Foo Foo Lamarr.I first met him at his Picador club in Shudehill Manchester, Long gone,back in the 70's.He owned Foo Foo's Palace in the city. He also opened City Lights in Farnworth.He made loads of appearances on t.v. too. He raised loads of money for charities especially Christies.I thought i'd put this here as a small reminder to people who knew this star who is making them laugh in heaven. R.I.P.

I can still hear his opening song.....Falling in with love with love is falling for make believe, falling in love with love is playing the fool, i fell in love with love one night when your drawers were low........I'm only too sorry this is the only song i have. Thank you for your lovely comments about a true northern GEM.
