I have this show on an old videotape. I believe I recorded it in 1984. Freddie Starr is a great singer, when he let's himself sing properly. Of course he started out as a singer back in Liverpool.
This song is so very very beautiful. Don Mclean wrote/sang it, excellent. Freddie Starr is an excellent talent, one of those artists that can do everything. Acting great, singing great, soft, dramatic, comic. He's got the whole spectra and he can change it rapidly, now thats talent, rare talent.
when he did an audience with 'freddie starr'......now that was funny. loved his performance with the jordinaires. does a great elvis, fantastic voice!!!
What a lovely man, pissed meself laffin' at this guy for decades, lord knows he's had his ups & downs, but blessed with it to make us all laugh our tits off forever....!!
The first time i saw freddie was in '76 .. Winter Gardens .. Blackpool :) .. From that night on .. and i was 13 yrs old .. you have been forever emblazoned on my mind fred .. and i have seen many of your shows since ... Keep 'em laughing fred :):):)
Thank you so much Fred. Many years you have entertained us. Sure, your off the wall and crazy, but that is good; for we all need to relax. I don't know where you are. Long live Freddie Starr.
wow i didnt know he had sucha fantastic voice !!plus i didnt know he had died ???!! he was so talented !!plus he should have been at top of charts with that voice !!
No, Elvis hadn't voiced his comments about Freddie. Freddie was little known outside the UK. Elvis enjoyed watching Monty Python films (which had done well in the US.) And thought impressions of him were a compliment, so he would have enjoyed Freddie Starr. I have fond memories growing up and watching Freddie. I have this clip on an old VHS tape - somewhere in my attic. Brilliant clip!
elvis did make comments concerning freddie,they had met each other approx.3 times in usa.he also sang in front of elvis with elvis's group.freddie has also sang in america at the hilton appearing on the same bill as englebert humperdink.
Starr is completely Looney Toons! He has a GREAT voice. Does he ever just sing a song straight out? I mean, this guy has the pipes to really sing. Still, he IS funnier than hell.
Freddie always struck me as a tragic and conflicted man, im sure he so desperately wanted to be taking seriously as a singer, but had trouble shedding parts of his accent, and that must have frustrated him alot. Plus being a silly bugger, people always just expected him to be funny and if he just tried to sing a song, people might give him shit for it.
Приколы
Freddie you were the man,many tears of laughter watching you in action
Brilliant. I remember him doing this. It made me cry with laughter then and it still does now. Thank you Freddie

@TheJayo1971 Freddie Garity was the lead singer with Freddie and the Dreamers.
Without doubt Freddie's best routine.... I much prefer it when he sings in this voice rather than than as Elvis.
Legend lol :)
@TheJayo1971 you are correct..Freddie Starr (born Frederick Leslie Fowell on 9 January 1943)
@TheJayo1971 Freddie Garity was old parrot face and played along with the dreamers.
Freddie and the Dreamers and he was born in Manchester.
No, Elvis hadn't voiced his comments about Freddie. Freddie was little known outside the UK. Elvis enjoyed watching Monty Python films (which had done well in the US.) And thought impressions of him were a compliment, so he would have enjoyed Freddie Starr. I have fond memories growing up and watching Freddie. I have this clip on an old VHS tape - somewhere in my attic. Brilliant clip!
Great clip.
@TheJayo1971 Freddie Garrity was actually the lead singer with Freddie And The Dreamers, a totally different person.
elvis did make comments concerning freddie,they had met each other approx.3 times in usa.he also sang in front of elvis with elvis's group.freddie has also sang in america at the hilton appearing on the same bill as englebert humperdink.
What happened to this man, such a talent
fucking class
Starr is completely Looney Toons! He has a GREAT voice. Does he ever just sing a song straight out? I mean, this guy has the pipes to really sing. Still, he IS funnier than hell.
A real clown but what a voice when he wants to use it !!!
Try Pausing it and letting it all load before you watch it
ye id love to see the 1970 royal variety performance aswell where he does jagger and tom jones!!
@TheJayo1971 ...er... wasn't he called Frederick Fowel??
@snoopy45 Both wrong..it was Freddie Powell
Freddie is on tour, Lichfield tonight,
You're very welcome =)
"Parrot Face" was neither Freddie Starring nor Freddie Garrity but Freddie "Parrot Face" DAVIS.
@TheJayo1971
I thought that was Freddie from Freddie and the Dreamers mate?
its from freddie starr: comedy express
The long coat, tight trousers, boots and grimacing are all nicked from a bloke called Max Wall. He's dead though so he doesn't need the act any more.
i gree i thought he was funny...he also has a great singing voice aswell.
Freddie always struck me as a tragic and conflicted man, im sure he so desperately wanted to be taking seriously as a singer, but had trouble shedding parts of his accent, and that must have frustrated him alot. Plus being a silly bugger, people always just expected him to be funny and if he just tried to sing a song, people might give him shit for it.
Nps =)
Music and voice was perfect. Too bad it was for comedy. For me, it is the best version (if completed). Better than the Iglesias and Grobans.
that was freddie and the dreamers freddie not this freddie lol
Freddie Garrity? From Freddie and the Dreamers, surely?
ROFLMAO!
should have been...
@TheJayo1971 Umm...wasn't that Freddie and the Dreamers (a 60's band)
