Freddy Starr was an absolute maniac! Very talented and funny but madder than a sack of angry cats!

[@AutoAlligator]

I like the "sack of angry cats" comparrison :) Mad as a box of frogs lol

[@keiron.4612]

Without that he wouldn't of been worth watching

[@AutoAlligator]

@@keiron.4612 I don't remember him as much as I remember my parents crying laughing at him :) The same with Monty Python and Blackadder. Good memories though :)

[@dave_h_8742]

Heavily into drugs and alcohol which is where the mania came from

[@robinclarke9978]

Correct. From an place entirely.

[@richardhargrave6082]

Freddie Starr was a one off. Wonderfully mad, saw his summer show a few times as a child, the adults found different things funny to us kids! Genius. He ran down the steps on the stage and straight down a hidden hole, superb There's a rabbit hole you have to go down. The only man to keep Ali quiet! Freddie only died two years ago, he was too funny (unpredictable) for for TV. RIP Freddie and The Greatest

[@IanDarley]

You've got to check out some of Freddy's singing, he had an amazing voice when he was serious and could perfectly replicate a speeding-up, slowing-down tape machine, it's hilarious 😂

[@Stand663]

I think he did shows with the Jordanaires . Elvis’s backing singers

[@coot1925]

Just about every interviewer dreaded Freddie coming on their show because he was so outrageous and unpredictable. He sometimes went over the top But a very clever & funny man.

[@highpath4776]

The Des O'Connor Show with Freddie as guest, the great example of Culture Clash ! Though both wore the Wide Collar Shirts of the 1970s (as I did too).

[@ernie2421]

Freddy starr's mick jagger impression is something to behold 😅

[@juliehillman8743]

Freddie Starr was hilarious. A man of many talents and on British TV a lot. Muhammad Ali was totally engrossed in the storytelling that he wasn't expecting the ending either. Freddie was lucky he didn't get a punch!

[@malcolmlewis6014]

Freddie Starr , the greatest Elvis impersonator of them all.

[@carlhartwell7978]

Arguably this side of the Atlantic, Andy Kaufman's Elvis was epic, especially the transformation he made from his Latka character. Another comic genius.

[@bwilson5401]

Malcolm Lewis...Have you heard of another Brit called Johnny Earl.Hes the only Elvis sound-alike that The Jordanaires have backed. No one comes close.

[@ManxAndy]

@@bwilson5401they backed Freddie Starr 3 times

[@highpath4776]

Freddie Starr singing Starry Starry Night is a must watch.

[@roballen5718]

i was thinking the same. would that be on this channel, or the music one?

[@highpath4776]

@@roballen5718 didnt know there was a music one, think Sq only needs two channels

[@vamboroolz1612]

The song is ‘Vincent’. Not being pedantic but I used to get slated for calling it Starry, Starry Night as a kid.

[@D1CE579]

I’ve never seen this .. I’m from the UK as well .. To see a man like Ali flinch like this is genius.

[@bobbierocksbuster5584]

An audience with Freddie Star when he has Mr motivator peddling a bike to keep the electricity going in the studio is facking hilarious

[@lorettamoulpied5293]

Oh, yes I've seen this.. Freddie Starr was a nutcase, he used to appear on Des O'Connors show in the early days he was hysterical.

[@Stuart_Cox1969]

Freddy Starr is fantastic, brilliant comedian and singer.

[@keiron.4612]

Freddie was a comic genius you never new what he'd say or do next

[@capcompass9298]

I'm not sure he did either.

[@GinaBeana_Tootsie]

Hahaha Freddie Starr made Ali to flinch 🥊🤣😹♥️

[@112deeps]

Freddy the only guy to have scared the crap out of the greatest! Lol

[@alisonrandall3039]

A work colleague of my dad once lived next to Freddie Star when he lived in Windsor. The work colleague was doing some gardening when he heard an arrrrghhh sound. Looking up there was Freddie dressed in a Tarzan costume attached to a long rope swinging in the trees.

[@gazriley624]

Take a look at Freddie Starr, Mick Jagger impression 1970

[@lynnhamps7052]

Definitely...he is now considered very inappropriate but throughout the 70's we all found him hilarious, he was actually very talented and had a voice not unlike Elvis. :)

[@MrDoolan72]

And his Ray Charles one haha.

[@ronaldcarlton9957]

BRILLANT INTERVIEW ,FREDDIE WAS SO FUNNY & CLEVER .

[@jjc5407]

Michael Parkinson's interviews with Muhammad Ali are legendary. They're serious interviews and not particularly funny (although Ali was always charismatic and could be amusing), but worth adding to your ever-expanding watch list Mr Squirrel.

[@freddyspizzaboy6754]

Freddie was brilliant.

[@philjones45]

Another comic that had a very sad ending. As a boy Freddie was my favourite. Please watch him doing the song Vincent. So good.

[@johntate5722]

Freddies delivery hooks ali in and grabs him. Freddie is so committed to what hes saying, you would have to be drawn in. I wish he had done some straight acting. Mind you, as soon as i say that i realise he couldnt stay serious for a minute.

[@johnnybeer3770]

Checkout Freddie Starr singing " Vincent " absolutely hilarious . 🇬🇧

[@stingray4real]

Freddie Starr is unpredictable but very funny LOL RIP Freddie Star and Muhammad 'The Greatest' Ali

[@jameshealy8402]

Freddie Starr and the Jordonaires , Elvis backing group is a must reaction

[@CMDRRustyDog]

Did you notice how intensely Muhammad Ali was listening to Freddie? Didn't take his eyes off him.

[@johngardiner6800]

Now that you have found Freddie you really must watch Freddie on his own show when he sang Elvis with the Jordanairs who came over specially for his show. Even if you don't review it get it for yourself you will love it.

[@rerenaissance7487]

Freddie Starr was a force of nature in front of an audience. As he got older he was like Ozzy Osborne - a bit doddery and lost looking, but give him an audience and he was bouncing iff the walls.

[@59jalex]

Freddy was superb. His 1993 Vincent song, Ray Charles and his Indian bit stand out for me.

[@GpoppaJohn]

Your face is a joy to watch with these videos, you’re so engrossed in them. 😄👍

I liked that. Seen it years ago when on UK telly. Freddie Starr very talented and funny. Get some more of him.

[@lextex3280]

I remember watching this. Lol. Freddie Star was awesome, a real entertainer, his singing was brilliant, when he wasn't fucking about. His Elvis impressions were great. You definitely need to check out Freddie Star , and check out Jim Davidson too, he is another awesome comedian, squirrel. Jim Davidson is well known for entertaining the troops on deployment. He has been to Iraq a few times entertaining the troops. He is an awesome guy.

[@stephenbrough8132]

I LOVE this clip - saw it some time ago ... well worth seeing again.

[@kengregory6026]

ha...nice one Squirrel..tbh, i kinda remember this i think..but not sure lol cos i couldnt predict the ending!..for sure, Freddie Starr at his best was quite astonishing..yes,his slowing down/speeding up to a backing track skit shows his comic genius well...K Everett was unpredictable in the studio, F Starr was unpredictable live ..and as others have said, his Elvis was quite remarkable

[@AutoAlligator]

I remember this clip sort of... Well I remember my parents crying laughing at it. Freddy Starr was very "unpredictable" and my parents couldn't wait to see him take the piss out of anyone and everyone who thought they were something.

Hi SQ.If u can fit in a short clip of FS impersonating Mick Jagger sometime in front of the Queen at the Royal variety show u will see how versatile he was.He was not top of the bill but he stole the show with it.I even bet Mick Jagger laughed his Bollocks off.

You might find this clip funny Squirrel. Some background info on it that's important though! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZjFlIR_iZx1g8U Basically, Rainbow was a very popular children's programme in the 70's and 80's, mainly aimed at fairly young children, think Sesame Street. On a separate note certain people (shows/entertainers/creators) at the BBC, Thames and probably other production companies (I don't know if they still do it) used to create a supposedly VERY internal Christmas Tape, for their Christmas party. Each 'submission' would attempt to outdo each other in how outrageous they could be. This was what the creators and presenters of the aforementioned Children's TV programme Rainbow submitted one year. It is unfortunate that the quality is very poor, but it's the only version on YT, it wouldn't surprise me if this is basically the best quality version still in existence, it was made 43 odd yrs ago! Plus it's not like it was ever 'released' lol, or even supposed to be viewed more than just at one Thames Christmas Party. THANKFULLY, it made it 'out' (even in this state) so that we can all enjoy it! The 'tone' of this is an exact replica of what kind of programme Rainbow was, down to the presenters, their jollity and the opening music.

[@deniseperryman2814]

Muhammad Ali was one off my greatest loves when I was a teenager there was no one like him except Elvis Elvis was the greatest but they were great friends and Muhammad told Elvis he was the greatest and Elvis said no way your the greatest and they used to laugh about this they bought each other some really expensive presents 🎁 so just watching this brings back brilliant memories Freddie Star was a one off he was very brave too do this to Muhammad but he just loved it and no one can do the love of my life Elvis like Freddie so please check it out but be warned Freddie could get up to anything so keep your mind open too anything you might see 🤪🤪🤭💞💞💞💞💞love from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💞💞💞💞

That was back in the days when guests on talk shows would just talk, rather than be there to just plug their latest film/book etc, with rehearsed questions. Oddly Parkinson only got his break because Peter Cook, a great comic actor and terrific talk show guest, completely failed as the host of his own chat show, and Parkinson had to take over.

[@Isleofskye]

Parky first made his name as a reviewer on ITV's "Cinema" which is how he came to the attention of The BBC after THe Cookie fiasco.
