    Irony = Robbie Williams getting a £billion record deal and this guy dying penilless. What a talent. RIP.

    Clearly One of the greatest singing talents ever to grace the planet, he never got his true recognition at the time, anybody that loves music and vocalists will know that he was one of the greatest of all time.

    I passed Billy at Heathrow in the 80s& blew him a kiss. He actually started walking toward me but I got flustered and ran away.

    What a voice, can see why Rankin was desperate to get him on board back in the 70s. RIP Billy, Dundee's finest 🙏

    Thank you so much for the lovely comments, it means so very much. I'm trying to put up the Big Day. But RUclips didn't process it. Will try again.

    Listening and watching in 2018 this is a welcome reminder of Billy’s beautiful voice. Compared to his previous, youthful vibe he’s slightly understated in his mature performance. The contrast of almost classical piano lines set against a chic, guitar rhythm and strong beat leave plenty of space for those wonderful pipes to blow. Missed, but as ever, an inspiration to be yourself.

    Hearing this for the first time and I'm knocked out. Sublime vocals, great band and arrangement. I shouldn't have expected anything less from hearing Party Fears Two and Club Country alone.

    I love this version, probably my favourite song on Wild and Lonely, a seriously under-rated album.

    After all this years, still one of my favorite singers. Still makes me sad he left us way to soon.

    If it wasn’t for Billy MacKenzie, I would never have met my beautiful wife....She was a friend of his and I met her when she just arrived in Glasgow
