    I remember watching 'That'll Be The Day' as a teenager in the late 1970's. David Essex was a good looking guy of course but it was Billy's looks, charisma & voice that made an impression in that movie.
    In the days before Google I found it almost impossible to get information about him, living outside of Britain. Thankfully I had on order from the UK the 'History of Rock' magazines which arrived every month. I learn't about his love of ornithology ( I had to look up what that was....lol).
    Billy has & always will remain one of my life's favourite artists.

    My parents had a Billy Fury record, "Halfway to Paradise". Thought it one of the best in their 60s collection. I always thought it had a great orchestral intro, then that opening lyric: # "I-ee Want to be your Lov-er, but your friend, etc...". Great intro to the lovely pop ballad that followed. rip Billy ❤

    My Sister Margaret and Myself (Tony) consider that Billy Fury (Ronald Whycherley) is our forever favourite Singer. We have been to his Grave to pay our respects for giving us so much pleasure listening to him singing our favourite songs. Particularly Maybe Tomorrow.

    Wow! It seems to give the background to why he died early ... just before he did.
    Only two months later, in late January 1983, he died of a heart attack.

      @@lukegodden1529 indeed. I think that Billy was the closest thing that we ever got to rock ‘n’ roll in this country. Last Night was Made for Love and Half Way to Paradise are classics. Well, most of his songs are but those two in particular.
      And of course, he was great with David Essex and Ringo Starr in That’ll be the Day.

      @@lukegodden1529 good on you, Luke. I also started exploring music made before I was even born in my teens as well.
      It used to be that kids didn’t listen to their parents music but with the Internet today’s teenagers are more well informed than any other generation in history and they have wider reaching knowledge and taste.
      The Internet is one of the best things about the technological age because it’s a 24 hour online ‘Library of Alexandria of culture, with almost everything being preserved for posterity. And for older people it gives them a chance to feel like they have gone back in time. Everyone’s a winner.
      If you get the chance, watch That’ll be the Day. It’s a classic piece of British cinema, with a story built around a young star - Jim McClaine - getting started in the music business in a pre Beatles and Stones England.

      @@oleggorky906 Agreed it is a very useful tool when used for good... I actually saw that'll be the day 2 years ago, and recently watched play it cool. That'll be the day was on my watchlist for a while, I heard about it a long time ago as another favourite of mine is Buddy Holly so of course the title always used to pop up.

      No. He was ripped off by his Manager and because of this was declared bankrupt. He re recorded his hits again for K Tel to pay off the debt. He then made a comeback of his own to start earning again. He hadn't lived with Lee Everett since the late 60s.
