Wow! The man a genius. A few months before he passed, I asked him if he could help teach my son how to play the guitar. He said "of course I can, but you better be quick before I go to America". That unfortunately was the last I heard from him. Billy you were a great man. Long may you legend love on.

Billy Franks was one of the best singers in the United Kingdom. Sadly he never succeeded in breaking through to the mainstream world of music 🎶 🎸 Billy passed away far too soon but I still believe he was one of our greatest musicians ever. It’s still possible to bring out a record of his best songs in an effort to bring his music around the world. I’m sure it’s something Billy would want especially for his family and friends who knew just how talented he was 🥰💔🙏🏻🎸

Thank you for your gift of music Billy. You will never be forgotten my friend. I’m only sorry that we missed each other in Saville on your final walk. I’m happy to have your message and so glad I could help. Love you ❤

From an American fan who found Billy via "A Far Cry From Sunset" on an Amazon search for rock and roll books 2 years ago, I just tonight heard this version for the first time and am floored. I thought "Mass" was unsurpassable but this is at least it's equal to my ears. Happy to have both Faith Brothers CDs and now four of Billy's CDs. His "under-discovered" talent truly astounds and frustrates me. Thank you for giving us your great music.
