Billy Fury - Just Because ,Rare Newly discovered footage ,song in full. (Best Quality )

[@robjones2408]

Billy was a class act. Pre Beatles, he was unbeatable. "The Sound Of Fury" still remains an essential piece of rock'n' roll on both sides of the Atlantic. What a great performer! No wonder the girls were drooling over him. He had the looks, voice and sheer charisma to become a star. Sadly his health let him down eventually. David Brinkley was an idiot of the highest order. Two years later, The Beatles would sweep everything aside especially in the States. What did you expect from a country that gave the world Pat Boone? Poor David and his pitiful ilk never saw that coming. Thanks for posting that brilliant footage of Billy Fury.

[@adrinathegreat3095]

Yea but its a million miles away from johnny halliday who sold 20 times more records in France than billy did in the uk. The guy had a state funeral with a crowd of over 250,000 attending.

Billy fury actually met Elvis on his1960 movie Girls Girls Girls and he met Pat boone Billy was nice guy a real Superstar 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@martinwatson1397]

I came here to watch Billy Fury and found some Johnny Halliday I had never seen before. My two great Heroes.

[@philobrandon5710]

I had never heard Johnny Hallyday do Adriano Celentano's 24,000 Kisses before, either. Reminds me of why I wish Elvis had covered the Italian.

[@nicholasgibbons6757]

A great find for his surving fans. Not many live footages around. Very amusing especially the po-faced presenter. My dad would have said the same. I was banned from playing my R/R. He said it damaged his record player. Billy Fury was a real star of his time and his life story of his rise to fame was truly charming and fascinating. He was also kind to animals which really does it for me. I will put on my vinyl this evening" We want Billy" open a beer and swing into action. Cheers to his memory. He lives on.

[@deanneharrall1241]

I couldn’t have put it better, good on you, I love animals, something I didn’t know about Billy Fury. Cheers from me too. Deanne x

Superb Billy, a prat of a presenter

[@keithdukes5990]

What a prize f*****g p***k that presenter was!!!🙄😣😠😤

[@jackkennedy_1963]

I believe that right at the 10-minute mark, as the girls swarm Billy, you can see his manager, Larry Parnes, dark-suited, cigarette perpetually glued to his lip, coming to Billy's rescue.

[@alberttatlock5237]

Billy Fury was great and had a fairly long career as a singer, The French guy Johnny Halliday was massive, that guys popularity in France during his peak was a very similar to How Elvis was in 1956 America, when he died his funeral was televised across France, although little known outside of France, you have to remember that France is bigger than England and if you are a major star there you are BIG

[@lennymaunton3183]

I once heard Billy Fury was a poor mans Elvis Presley, but he was Billy Fury a superb artist in his own right one off the best British artists of his time and died so young, if you ever visit Liverpool go down to the Albert docks there you will find a statue of Billy in his full glory. R.I.P.

[@icanfartloud]

More like The enormous charisma of Elvis being exploited to "find the next Elvis"....and of course, we now know there was never another one like Elvis, and there never will be...btw, no need to use presley......no last name needed

[@ozisister]

I live in Australia and was told by a guy called tommy Curren his brother sculpted the BF statue

[@nickturner2813]

It's at the Albert Dock, not the Albert docks!

[@elvisleeboy]

Billy Fury developed into a great singer, but this was not before his rather embarrassingly obvious attempts to emulate Elvis early on in his career. When he found his own voice, he was superb.

[@patdoyle3686]

@@icanfartloud as for Elvis being exploited I don't believe Billy Fury exploited Elvis more like his management And hangers on Billy fury loved Elvis and he met him on the set of Elvis movie Girls Girls Girls in 1962 Yes there was only one Elvis a real nice guy and only one Billy fury also a nice guy both died young Even today 2022 Elvis still the King and Billy is the Prince God bless them Both they were true Superstars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@robertwalden2372]

Billy the best ever British rock n roll artist move over cliff Richard who's he 👍❤

[@darlahaines6928]

I like Cliff; however, he benefitted from white privilege and still does. Billy Fury came up from nothing, also chronic illness. Not merely an Elvis impersonator. He developed his own style over time. He wasn't falling out of his shirts either. What a blue-eyed Soul Brother!! So sad I didn't know about him sooner.

[@goodiesguy]

@@darlahaines6928 Cliff, white privilege? He was born in India ffs! then when moving to the UK was raised basically in poverty. Privilege my arse!

[@deanneharrall1241]

Billy Fury looked so well in that footage, I used to watch him on the 6.5 special show on Saturday nights in the sixties, great show and fabulous performances. Thank you. Deanne x

[@abrokenframe82]

This is a fantastic find. I loved the Billy Fury clip but what was mind blowing was the RCA synthesizer @11:05. Way before Bob Moog had his modular set up and then the Moog Model D synth that everyone had in 1970.

[@ranifanphenix4819]

Long live billy..(i heard the presenter a few years later had a heart attack watching a rolling stones footage -)

[@t4705mb6]

"Evil spirit'???? I laughed so hard I blew my coffee out my nose.

Doesn’t he look well there!....what a mover!

[@pauldashwood2897]

Billy was good looking ooozed style

[@albo2006]

The presenter is David Brinkley. He & Chet Huntly did a daily newscast on the NBC network for decades.They were a very big deal! This is on film, so I guess it wasn't used over like the video tapes from that time, those were simply lost.

[@anthonykerr6866]

[@barryrudge1576]

Billy Fury earning $125k per year, I don't think so, Mr pounds shillings & pence (Larry Parnes) was paying him a weekly wage of £20. Great footage but this was nowhere near one of his better songs.

[@alfsmith4936]

He was earning that much for Larry Parnes though..

[@williammeier4534]

Was THAT ever cool footage, complete with a commercial no less (and the only part of the whole thing in black and white)! I think the highlight was the last sequence showing the synthesizer. I though Moog synthesizers were big enough but this one is colossal! Imagine what it's 1961 cost of $750,000 would adjust to today!

[@Doc_Tar]

David Brinkley sure was an old stick in the mud. I'm glad he lived long enough to see how rock musicians made use of synthesizers. Don't get fooled again David.

[@williamcooper8806]

Yea, because the culture we have now as a result of the music of that time is so great.

[@PaulLea]

We syill remember Billy Fury... but not that square TV guy😁

[@meeksville304]

Excellent find mate, well done your brilliant, this is something else,i know the short clip on the other video has been around for about 5,6 years now,did you get this full video from old Mike in the USA, i know been on about this and the Halfway to Paradise clip for sometime now....

[@RGM304]

Yes i did Josh,from what he told me,NBC have been releasing part of their archive shows on the internet so he email it to me and i got it up on You Tube first, for everyone to see, before people start putting there watermarks all over it....the Halfway to Paradise and the Only piece of film footage will Johnny Kidd singing is owned by a private collector and he wants big money for it

Billy fury was the best rocker ever even better than elvis what a singer wow

[@adrinathegreat3095]

This guy many years later announced the death of Elvis presley in the same manner.

[@layde1]

Wow! Billy Fury was HOT!! I'd be screaming too if I was in that audience! Incidentally, that dreary presenter looks and sounds as if he is sitting on something painful. I bet he's only about 33.

[@deanneharrall1241]

layde1 Hi, I’ve never laughed so much at these comments, they are fabulous. Deanne x

[@peterturner5618]

Rock 'n Roll is dying? Is this an early example of Fake New?

[@davidbarnett9312]

Yeah, true. In 1961, the teen idols had taken over. Elvis had matured, Rick was 21, and Little Richard was pretty much gone from the scene. The rockers of the 50's had passed their sell by date, such as Gene Vincent, Jerry Lee's personal life destroyed his career, and Chuck Berry was in trouble with the law, as in 'transporting a minor across state lines'. It did take the British Invasion to bring back rock 'n roll. Now let's look at those Parisians. In those days, folks took two baths: birth and death. They had fleas in the clothes and beds, syphilis was a big killer, as well as other diseases, no such thing as tooth paste much less dental flossers, people squatted and did their numbers in public and the offal was tossed out the windows to lie in the streets thus encouraging more disease, infant mortality was huge, and the serfs and peasants lived miserable lives. Yeah, I'll take rock 'n roll any day juxtaposed against the preceding indictment of the past. A few paintings, statues, and symphonies cannot cover up how living in the past was abysmal.

[@stevestheboy1]

only onebloke to blame for this....elvis aaron presley god bless ya whereva u are,long live the king

[@kenmcgowansze4572]

My, how wrong David Brinkley was; Elvis was to prove him wrong. Rock n’ Roll has outlived Brinkley and will continue to do so. Say “David” and what will you get ? Say “Elvis” and what will you get ? Need I say more ?

What's wrong with those girls? They are screaming and then suddenly stop as if they never screamed. One of the girls looks as if she was afraid of the singer. And yet another one, on the left of the screen, keeps alternating her looks - at one time she looks most likely at the singer's face, at yet at another time she looks somewhere lower.

[@jj811]

Did Brinkley say the music sucked? And that it was dying down in the USA in 1961??

[@rockabeatinboogie]

Where is the laugh button to click on? He sounds like my old man did.

[@albo2006]

Katy Winters spent her life fighting BO.

[@TheAltarBillies]

ol Dave Brinkley had no idea what was waitn right around the corner in 1964 with the British invasion and everything else that came with it. "The man" tried to squash and get rid of rock'n roll, but their efforts were futile. Once Elvis hit the scene in 54 and blew the barn door off its hinges that was it - all the livestock was long gone. Nice try, but you were a day late and a dollar short!

[@mesolithicman164]

I don't think those synthesiser things will catch on.

[@ozisister]

I bet Billy loved doing this one ...though myself and most of his fans preferred his ballads he loved his R&R . Sad he died penniless ...funny story recording Keith moon from the Who and Billy lol

[@nickturner2813]

He did not die "penniless"!

[@TheEx3rgj]

I think the presenters got piles, I can tell with the tone of his voice. He probably also suffers with athletes foot as I’m sure he keeps rubbing one foot with the other foot, you can tell because he doesn’t open his mouth much when he talks. Another thing I’ve noticed is that there’s a probability he may have ringworm due to the way he talks down to people. People with ringworm do this a lot . They tend to talk down to people due to the nature of the condition. They think it’s a condition only special people contract, that’s why they talk down to people. It’s quite a common condition in actual fact, even hobos have been known to get it which in their case can be fatal if left to fester.
