SIX FIVE SPECIAL "Michael Holiday" 01

[@stwads]

He looks so relaxed & happy to perform in these clips. It really is hard to imagine the anxiety & stress he suffered from performing in front of a camera. Such a great voice & such a tragic loss!

[@tomoconnor2356]

What a soft beautiful voice he had. In my opinion, he was the equivalent in UK of Bing Crosby. He never got the recognition that he deserved. My parents adored him, they had him in their 78s records.

The sad passing of Michael Holiday left a big void in the wonderful but forgotten now music of yesteryear. He was one of the finest ever crooners and is unforgettable.

What a golden voice 😅

[@johnrowemd5476]

He sounds like a dulcet amalgamation of Bing Crosby, Dean Martin and young Frank Sinatra (without “slip notes” or “Crooning”! Beautiful version of “Old Cape Cod” - Never heard of him before, so thank you very much! Cheers

[@jimfraser647]

Great song and great voice.

[@onthegoldenline]

'Starry Eyed' was his best.

[@JimMcGuirk1]

[@funkdocta5332]

I wish i could find more episodes of his radio show "Holliday With Strings". There's only one recording of this show on KZbin available but im sure he did alot more. I love his music so much.. Im always trying to find more :)

[@stwads]

[@annprince5298]

He was from Liverpool..Evertton area,

[@tedbartlettvideochannel5740]

I'm trying to imagine MH speaking with a Scouse accent 🤔😂

[@KenKen454]

Not a Bing Crosby impersonator, although he idolised Bing and did his best to sound like him - and did! "Cape Cod" was a mime, but to his own record, whereas "Love You Darlin'" was live, as evidence by Mike forgetting some of the words - even though he wrote the song!

@James Tudor Hi James - you can get me on [e-mail].

[@tonydavis6482]

Mike hated rock`n`roll...the nearest he sang was "Stairway of Love".....there was more jazz in the movie than rock`n`roll....

[@Rustymouse]

It seems the girl on the stairs is more interested in his haircut and the back of his collar.

[@peterpiece2102]

Yes, I noticed that. 👍😎 She was there at Micheal's right side..

[@makinganarrowboatwithnannyandg]

hahaha That's my Mum
