Yes I was a faith follower, we went to see him at the castaways in Bradford street Birmingham. For some reason we were sitting on the stairs between the casino and the entertainment area. You can imagine our surprise when Adam was coming down the stairs alone decided to sit down with us for a chat. After chatting for a while he said do you fancy a game of cards. We were beside ourselves, going into the dressing rooms we were surprised to see Peter Noone of Herman’s hermits and I think Mike berry was there also. We stayed for about half an hour playing cards and were amazed that they played for pennies, no big stakes. Very enjoyable. This was somewhere between 1964/5 can’t remember exactly.

Yes, he said that nobody wants to hear my old hits now, but someone told him we all do as they bring back such great memories to many of us, that you owe it to us all to sing them now and then. He came from that time of Cliff Richard, Billy Fury, Marty Wilde and many more that were home grown and were our answer to Pat Boone, Elvis and others from the US.

I'm 64 so was only a child at the height of Adam's career, but even then, I fancied him like mad. I loved the series "Budgie". I loved his music too, and my sister often plays it on her radio show, "Angel Radio" in Havant, Portsmouth, UK. They play music up to 1969. It's very sad that he died at only 62, and very sad for his wife.

I met Adam Faith more than 25 years ago in a Corporate setting - it would surprise many of his followers to know how/why. He wanted to invest in a very well known burger chain! He was such a handsome, down to earth and lovely guy. Although, much slimmer and shorter than I was expecting him to be. He never was granted a franchise as it was a Owner/Operator enterprise and I imagine that he never envisioned himself flipping burgers, LOL!

No he isn’t remembered today as a trendsetter but he is loved by my age group, we remember his great hits, I asked members in all three choirs I belong too if they remember him or his songs and every one I asked remember him, I saw him at the NME awards singing at Wembley Arena London. Also I think I’m correct in saying he was the first singer to be arranged and directed by the great John Barry. They came from a time when you could sing their songs and would you believe this understand what they were singing about.

Adam Faith was quite one of my favs; so handsome. I'm puzzled because for some reason I seem to remember reading he died while watching TV and verbalised at it as he was a bit ticked off with it. Since that time I've always thought that is exactly how it went down. I didn't hear it in a comment somewere either, as I'm sure it was in the paper or a magazine. Perhaps somebody else might remember that, but probably not. I have to remember that was 20 years ago.

He was one of the 60s best performers. His music, usually written by Johnny Worth (Les Vandyke) and played by the John Barry Orchestra, was second to none and to say he was a massive hit would be an understatement. When the Merseybeat era arrived he reinvented himself with a rock group, The Roulettes and later became an actor , a manager and a financial journalist. It was sad that Jackie (his wife) was left penniless. His early records, Poor Me, Who Am I, to me were the best.
