Adam Faith & Bruce Forsyth - Poor Me "Live" 1960

Adam Faith and Bruce Forsyth sing "Poor Me".

[@stateofdreams1]

This is an absolute gem. Rest in peace Bruce and Adam. Both sadly missed.

[@gillyjames9609]

What talented performers we used to have back then! Oh bring back the 60's xxx R.I.P Adam and Brucie xx

[@colinmennie6447]

Bruce was the absolutely best . He made everything look so simple . This is absolutely brilliant .looks like a Royal command performance. ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@hyena131]

Colin Mennie The reason brucie made everything look "simple" was everything he did was simple. The man had no discernible talent whatsoever.

[@terjesamuelsen9509]

​@@hyena131 Bruce had in fact a pretty good voice 😉

[@hyena131]

@@terjesamuelsen9509 And a pretty good chin to boot...marvellous.

[@johncroasdale1992]

Absolutely hilarious comedy at its best sadly gone forever

[@ronaldjillings5069]

[@123howardful]

Bloody brilliant, good old brucie, did a good job, sorry adam is no longer with us

[@Renvaar1989]

Sorry they are both now longer with us. Watched this as I was thinking about good old brucie.

[@john111257]

[@roy7561]

Fantastic entertainment from two much missed stars 👍

[@BLUEBELL258]

Great entertainment. Thank you.

[@madbob5a]

Classic two great entertainers.

[@garyrobertson9006]

I'm 40. Way before my time. The best piece of television i've seen to date. loved it.

[@robbaker9293]

so so good, this is what you call entertainment. Poeple seem to have forgoten what the word means now!

[@qtpysusie54]

This is delightful! And Mr Forsyth is now 89 years old and still kickin!

[@JamieBoy-ij2ri]

qtpysusie54 it's great he's still and I hope he stays with us for a long while to come, but I think he is definitely retired though due to a health decline. His last TV appearance being November 2015.

[@arriesone1]

Yes, 89 great years Brucie, you had a wonderful life.

[@JamieBoy-ij2ri]

My above comment is so morbid a month later, all hope wasted there... but I know he had wonderful life and I believe in afterlife so I'm sure that Bruce will now be entraining those up in the sky forever more.

[@markpayne867]

two amazing talents such a shame they have gone

[@TheShizue777]

Say, Bruce is great. I never knew he could sing. I only remember him from game shows. I love Adam Faith. Great performers both of them.

[@edward6960]

TheShizue777 I may be confusing him with someone else but, I'm pretty sure he put a couple of novelty records out in the late 60s/early 70s? One about 'buying British' and one about decimalisation?

[@carolineboothby9747]

Bruce was a fantastic all round entertainer. He could sing, dance, play the piano, and obviously was a great comic and compere. Also king of the catchphrase.

[@siredwardcarson8187]

Bruce Forsyth could pretty much do anything

[@ooWandereroo]

One of my faves:)

[@EssexSilvering]

That was brilliant!! Thanks for sharing.

[@barrypoupard7009]

Bruce Forsyth has lived.

[@rockaroundthe50s74]

Love love love it !!!!!!!!!

[@rogerharding4234]

sadly both no longer with us

[@meirwise1107]

It was 1960 and Adam Faith was a HUGE star but remained generous, polite & down to earth. RIP Adam...

[@dannycowley5817]

RIP Brucie.

[@DLEVANS65]

I love old British TV shows ! 👍

[@angelamary9493]

Miss them both ...Rest In Peace

[@karlt82]

Rest in peace Sir Bruce

[@kateodonoghue6515]

Brucie is so lovely

[@SuperJord88]

Never heard of that song before.

[@evelyneself4938]

Me either!

[@triciairvine5653]

awww class

[@urasam2]

I love this. I was a huge Adam Faith fan from 59-62 until the Beatles came along!

[@sparry4264]

I keep wanting to add 'Pour me, a cup, of tea'

[@annethomas9302]

A lot of it going about.

[@jaggass]

Brucie was born old.

[@kathymills6283]

Lock it...

[@thesubtleface]

Brucie almost seems young here!

[@Chrissyg00123]

I think bruce looks more like the late leonard rossiter' rigsby' on this clip,

[@pix046]

0:21 Body language is both of them have arms crossed. Poor Me a corruption of Accentuate the positive.

[@battmann7089]

Wibble

[@Iwantapoodle123]

I keep coming back to this whenever I feel a bit down, it’s so funny and delightfully playful. It was before I was born and still so great to watch. Loved Bruce Forsyth, such a generous entertainer, and Adam Faith was lovely

[@mickykedian7753]

Me too ….filmed way before I was born. I always felt I was born too late, love ‘60’s music

[@neilcolbeck78]

Since I found it recently, I have to listen to it almost daily. It makes me happy & sad at the same time. I can't listen to Adam Faith singing it on his own, without hearing Brucie also...🤷‍♂️(a child of the 60s)

[@jonathancain7727]

God bless Bruce forsyth a true TV legend he will be sadly miss

[@Hertog_von_Berkshire]

One of the truly great moments in stage history. I'd give my eye-teeth to have been at The Palladium that night.

[@manchild3479]

[@terryallen5328]

Two of the finest entertainers that we ever produced. RIP both.

[@peteiswriteingnow]

If this doesn't make anyone smile they must be dead I was 5 then Adams song what do you want was the 1st pop song I remember great singer 2 great entertainers don't make them like that any more

[@neil03152]

[@captain8014]

Dave Tomlin i am 12 and i have no idea who that is....

[@kyawkyawwin1]

Priceless.

[@Georgia275]

This is brilliant. From the days when entertainment meant pure talent and making people laugh. Bruce was a very good singer and Adam was gorgeous as ever.

[@thehoneybadger1223]

RIP Brucie, reunited with Adam. Two very wonderful chaps who are unfortunatly no longer with us

[@thecabinstudios1]

[@margaretwalker969]

So enjoyed seeing this again, my teenage era fabulous time to be in your teens

[@hillbillycat65]

Pure genius, Bruce is a legend, to be at the top for 50 odd years. He is most definitely not doddery......Adam Faith too.

[@JulieJulieTheRockChickhermiz]

Couldn't stop laughing, I love this it's awesome

[@briangoodwin5986]

now we know where Lenard Rossiter got the idea for Rigby in rising damp lol

[@Londonfogey]

[@neonskyline1]

Strange watching this from before i was born,especially when i'm friends with the person who wrote it

[@thebobbs6999]

Bruce mincing along with a pre-Fab Four syrup three years ahead of its time. Priceless

[@alecjefferson6993]

Bruce 😱My show 🤮didn’t I do Well 🥱👎

[@clareub]

brilliant, I love Adam Faith and this is the first time I have seen this with Forsythe - thank you for posting this :)

[@carllafong69]

Magic! I was eight at the time. "Sunday Night At The London Palladium" (LIVE) was an institution back then. Great upload - thanks muchly. Good old Brucie - he MUST have a portrait in his attic!

[@JamieBoy-ij2ri]

What a pair!!! RIP Brucie and Adam

[@user-pl9kj7ne8c]

Absolutely brilliant, so funny.love that song 😁

[@essexgirl1234]

Fantastic

[@deccomajor8190]

This is hilarious, thank you for uploading.

[@mew4732]

The first time I have found Bruce laugh out loud funny. Brilliant!

[@karenwilliams8285]

So excellent, the best!

[@John-xd7jg]

Brilliant 👌

[@jrgboy]

I remember Adam on John Freeman's 'Face to Face' where he was shown to be a very cultured and intelligent young man who was investing his money and not a just a dimwit as many people thought at the time.

[@kyawkyawwin1]

And yet he went bust. So sad.

[@gordoncooper6782]

When entertainers entertained, were talented and funny...this show happened a good number of years before I was even born.

[@terence2678]

Brilliant

[@TheWhitehall]

Bruce looks like Russ Abbot.

[@b.r.buckeyeman460]

What a great laugh,for us oldies.

[@kevingreenwood3026]

Brilliant timeless sketch by two top professionals.When Bruce mentioned the forthcoming summer season at Blackpool it brings back memories of the brilliant variety shows which used to be an integral part of the seaside summer season.Alas for quite a few years now there have been no shows on any of the Piers in Blackpool probably due to the fact there are not the entertainers around.

[@timbayliss4153]

How did Adam Faith die, as I know he was one of the respectable ones, who didn't overdose on drugs? Was it a heart attack?

[@bedemcconville6990]

1st time I have ever seen this brilliant don't get stuff like that these days. I was born 1960

[@billybabu]

Nice brucie nice. Alright my love

[@nickslick75]

Try telling a casual viewer to guess which one of these guys married a Miss World.

[@classicsrj]

When the whole family could sit and watch tv no swearing vulgar or anything bad.

[@SparkysTravels1512]

Bruce should have been Knighted donkeys years ago, not such a short time ago, a real entertainer and a legend.

[@johnvoice815]

Bruce and Adam together? Absolute gem.

[@chriskberks5471]

Sparkling entertainment.. genuinely funny. 😊😊😊

[@lydiajulianprower8356]

RIP both of you.

[@s90skank]

great share, thanks!

[@carlybishop6160]

It was so strange watching Bruce doing this. It felt like watching Michael Crawford or someone similar

[@millamilova5417]

Haha.. Love from Russia )))

[@Meatcity-sf8fm]

Brilliant

[@Frontera3]

Adam (Terry Nelhams) was a versatile singer/actor. I saw him in the stage musical 'Budgie' with Anita Dobson who also sings.They individually perform a version of "One of my weaker moments" and others. The show had a short run partly due to the economic situation at the time but was very enjoyable. A record exists of the music from the show set in Old Compton Street in Soho.

[@sinakolbrich6698]

Love It !

[@raymondfunnel6856]

This was entertainment at its best

[@a0b0]

once you hear this version it will always be this version that will play in your head when you hear the original non duet version.

[@manchild3479]

Sheer brilliance......

[@marilynhutchings6884]

Brilliant love it .. x

[@1stinenergylimitedmdevelop533]
