BILLY FURY NEW FANTASTIC, LIVE, RARE FOOTAGE IN COLOUR SINGING JUST BECAUSE

Newly discovered footage of Britain's answer to Elvis Presley singing at a small London venue when he was 20 years old. BILLY was extremely shy offstage but wild on and here you see him completely mobbed by girls at the end.

[@christopheraspland9343]

Billy was a legend, and a great guy, very humble, and shy. thank god we can see him on film !

[@katielowe1476]

Still play his songs today loved him our UK Elvis ❤❤❤

[@angelaarnold3740]

I was very Fortunate to see Billy in Concert and He Was Brilliant.

[@andyelliott8027]

Loads of young women about to try and tear his clothes off, it must have been awful for him 😃

[@hhill4413]

Saw Billy a couple of times love performances in Blackpool.He was a brilliant performer,great voice,personality, and a handsome young man.Lovellu memories of him.How Marvalous I can still watch him now,thanks to to modern technology. Absolutely great.

[@rosina6854]

My late father saw Billy live. ... My dad also said you will never see a more handsome man like Billy. RIP both to my Dad And Billy . Rock n Roll in heaven.x

[@peterhaynes8258]

Great Artist/Legend, And sadly died a young man, Rest in Peace Billy.

My first single record I bought Halfway to Paradise by Billy Fury in 1961 still play this classic & never grow old record on you tube a fabulous performer taken too early

[@jimmysimms2399]

He was lucky those ladies didn’t rip him apart. I’m in my 70s now and I remember how brilliant he was.

[@Charro76]

Billy Fury: # 'You lead me "Half Way to Paradise"- so near yet so far away' rip Billy Fury ❤ (Anyone remember that lively Pop ballad by Billy)

[@PaulM-v1y]

One an only billy fury legend god bless him

[@davidgibbs7232]

So often the rather biege Cliff Richard is referred to as the British Elvis.Mainly due to his greater success than Billy Fury.But in reality as far ad musicality goes that title should go to yhis guy.Fury is without doubt the best British rock n roller ever to grace a stage.He is so underrated its criminal.

[@Charro76]

When I was a kid, I always thought that Billy personified Presley (though Billy had his own unique stage movements) more so than Cliff. As John Lennon once remarked, ' "Elvis set the stage and we all followed". Billy sang some 'covers' but he also wrote and recorded his own songs. P.S. Cliff was also a pretty good mover. #"Move it".by Cliff, is an early brit-rock classic.

[@chairmanphil]

he was very shy but if you did get a chance to meet him he was so down to earth and polite really impressed me no airs and graces like todays stars!

[@WoodstockWitchQueen]

Wow what a find! I've always wanted to find footage of Billy live. What a treat!

[@mikeengland8449]

Bill borrowed a bit from Johnny Ray in this performance. I saw him in 63, Larry Parnes package tour. His star will keep on shining, happens when an artist is genuinely loved.

[@adamaustin3064]

My dad god bless him rip had great taste in music, fantastic.

[@joeoconnor5400]

He had far greater claim and credibility to be England's Elvis more so than Cliff Richard. Larry Parnes prevented Fury from writing more of his own material. The Sound of Fury showed the potential that Parnes snuffed out.

[@chriskinkead9045]

He. Was. Great. Very. Entertaining.

[@patrickmkiv]

You don’t often see a crowd reaction like that these days. Makes me proud to be (distantly) related to Billy Fury. What a legend!

[@rosina6854]

Please if you have spare time . Of you could message me. My late father was a genuine biggest fan. He said there could not be a more handsome man than Billy. He used to play chicken run to his records on a juke box on his triumph Bonneville. First back to the coffee shop till the record finished. . Hope your well . Rosina x

[@waltergeldof4923]

BILLY FURY IS THE ELVIS PRESLEY FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM . HIS DOINGS REMEMBER ELVIS. EVEN THOUGH HIS SONGS ARE GREAT BOTH ROCK & ROLL AND A QUIET BALLAD. HE IS A GREAT IDOL AMONG ALL TEENAGERS IN THIS TIME AND PAST. ALL IN ALL, I THINK BILLY IS A GREAT SINGER AND HIS BAND MEMBERS. UNFORTUNATELY HE HAS GONE FROM US. REST IN PEACE OUR BEST ROCKER IN HEART AND KIDS 👍👍👍❤🙏❤

[@Potatodrumcrow]

Super underrated !!

[@davidgrieve7854]

The only British rocker who actually met Elvis

[@matthewliambird]

The Beatles met him too lol 😅 they were just at awe and Elvis was like “ are we gonna keep looking at each other or are we gonna play some music” lol 😂

[@catholiccowboy8545]

Me too ! I met Elvis in Vegas, he was waiting in line to eat at a casino Buffet. Actually, it was his 3rd Buffet of the day. I'm not B.

[@jamespearce5049]

As a big fan of Billy, and also a songwriter, I wrote a tribute song to Billy called "Maybe Tomorrow"(A song for Billy Fury) It's on youtube.

[@colinpurssey9875]

Hi James , really interested in your comment , so just a moment ago I accessed your song on youtube , and I really liked it ; great lyrics and good melody . More to the point though , like yourself I too am a professional songwriter and also have many of my compositions on youtube . And quite coincidentally I've recently done a tribute song to our Australian counterpart of Billy . I don't know whether you've heard of Johnny O'Keefe . Australia's biggest rock n roll star of the fifties and early sixties. And like Billy , left us far too young . After I get my tribute song finished in the studio I'll get it up on youtube . Again James , I think you've done justice to Billy's memory with your great song . Thank you .

[@jamespearce5049]

@@colinpurssey9875 Hi Colin, what a lovely surprise to wake up to. As comments go on my music that’s the best, and thank you for that. I now know Johnny O’Keefe, been listening to him. Lot of similarities between Him and Billy. Will look forward to your tribute to Johnny. I have an album called “Journey” songs with a 60’s feel it‘a my most recent, but I just give them away for the feedback which has been very good. Of course I will now be tracking yours. They won’t be able to stop me talking about this in the pub tonight. Thanks again Colin. Brilliant!

[@dustyrollins4948]

Never heard of him. Loved the video. When was he turned lose on the world? Really enjoyed this. Thanks for posting.

[@joshron99]

If you study it and carefully watch his moves and listen to his singing, you'll pick up on a certain similarity with Elvis Presley.

[@patdoyle3686]

He was a fan of Elvis Ray Charles he actually met Elvis on the set of his movie Girls Girls Girls in 1962 He was the first British pop singer to write his own songs his Album Sound of Fury all the songs were Original he was backed on lead guitar by the Great Joe brown the album got into the charts Billy was a Trailblazer for all the pop stars who came after he was an original, a Superstar 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@djangorheinhardt]

Who were the musicians behind him on this clip,any idea,anybody ?

[@bernhardnizynski4403]

Those girls are besotted with him - particularly the one in the middle! Who is the young guitar player - he is really good?

[@philipsharples615]

I can't be sure, but I think that Billy was being backed by The Tornadoes of Telstar fame when this was filmed.

[@colinbrown7310]

Like everybody else of the time, he was unlucky that Elvis was around because they all end up looking like impersonators. Conversely, had it not been for Elvis, they would have had no flagship to lead them. He’s got a great catalogue though!

[@katperson7332]

Elvis recorded it in 1954 I think.

[@b1llyfury]

Because of Love?

[@katperson7332]

@@b1llyfury No the song “Just Because” was a different song from “Because of Love”. Elvis sang Because of Love in the 1962 movie Girls Girls Girls and Billy Fury recorded it later. In fact on KZbin there is a version of them both singing it together, though of course it’s not real, just dubbed over each other.
