I watched this go out live all those years ago. Was Billy the most underrated singer of all time? I would love to have had a chat with him. Fantastic! R.I.P. Billy.
Well done yet again, another classic song by Sir William. Like you have said it would be great to have had Billy sing all the Bond themes. Imagine this with full orchestral backing. Love his smile on this too - typical Billy. Thanks. Denboymac.
Nope, it's Steve Nieve - formerly of Elvis Costello & the Attractions. The backing band are called 'Steve Nieve and the Playboys'. Pete Thomas (the drummer) is another former member of the Attractions. The guitarist is Kevin Armstrong and the bass player Steve Lawrence.
+slinkycowboy Yes, I know what you mean! I was watching Party Fears Two and couldn't think who he reminded me of, til I saw a thumbnail on the right to Club Country where he looked just like Morten! I think a lot of it was his facial expressions when he performed. RIP Billy xx
Fantastic version from Scotland's forgotten genius, Billy was a true maverick and rule breaker!!

Billy knew how to stretch his notes - Love it
been dying for this. Billy told me he had covered this; I thought the Last Resort was a movie... hahaha
I miss billy so much
... brilliant singer and handsome lad... miss him :/
Lost to soon voice of an angel
Billy was wonderful!! Thanks for uploading
The late John Barry and the late Billy Mackenzie, sadly missed.
Boom! Take that Jonathan Ross! Billy was a true talent...
Absolutely !, what a lovely thought.
Pity Bily didn't "live twice" You shouldnae've checked out Son !!

wonderful share, billy's breathy, flute-like voice
This is great! Never knew he did it. Yes, would have been great with horns and strings!!!
@vienna987 What Do You Expect From A Guy Like Jonathon Ross!!....Cant Stand Him ....RIP Billy
Used to watch the Last Resort back in school, back when Ross was cool and edgy :D Channel 4 had some great fucking comedy on Friday nights.....
usedfuzzbox .... cool and edgy ..no he was not .. trust me ..
Whats going on with that voice. Its fab!
Steve Niave and the Playboys!!
(John) Barry and Billy go well together.
Just think, Nancy Sinatra couldn't sing this in one take and John Barry had to cut lots of the song out.
Ross is rank, especially when *he* says he is.
does no-one recognise a great singer!
doesn't he look like Morten Harket !
No he doesn't!
