Freddie Starr and the Jordanaires - Elvis’ Don’t REACTION

[@colindavid2078]

Freddie Starr was an all round entertainer, not just a comedian! The man didn't just stand up on stage telling jokes, he entertained the audience through song, dance, jokes, and audience interaction. He was a true legend of Britain, one of their best, yet his country let him down in the end! The media as usual talked sh*t about Freddie as they do all the time, things that were not true. This broke Freddie's heart, and he moved to Spain to live to try and get away from all the heartache! He lost his tour dates, his status, his reputation, and eventually his life due to the media and people listening to the crap they talk! Unfortunately, the man who was one of Britain's finest, was forgotten about overnight and left to rot! Freddie died alone and sad in Spain, renting a room above a bar where he performed every night to make rent. He died heartbroken in my opinion, and thousands of the people "who claimed they loved him", didn't even show up at his funeral as they were "too proud" to be seen at it, due to the allegations against him! SHAME ON THEM! I'm from Northern Ireland, but I was lucky to see Freddie live a few times in Blackpool UK, and actually talk to him! He was a gentleman. R.I.P Freddie 💖💥

I agree. One of the best British entertainers ever, sadly let down by this modern self me me society that cant take a joke & easily offended, not forgetting the money grabbers That said I dont condone physical abuse from males or females . I grew up with bright ginger hair (sadly, like Freddie its gone now) so imagine the hassle & names I was called , so it was either sit in a corner crying or fight back with words and give them a taste of their medicine. Generally that stopped them in their tracks. RIP Freddie thanks for the memories!

Freddie Star was a comedian 1st who was murdered by the media in the UK after false allegations of a sex offense. R.I.P Freddie (A comedic genius.)

[@PeterJPickles]

When a lot of his peers were being found guilty, the media tarnished him by association. He was completely innocent.

[@matt7965]

Freddie Starr is a legend

[@williamholden7573]

Freddie Starr.A brilliant talent.

[@jakhaughton1800]

The Jordanaires said Freddie Starr was the best Elvis impersonator they ever played with.

[@ironclad57]

That was what they said about my friend Johnny Earl

[@KarenDyson-Huff]

He is our national treasure

[@patdoe5242]

Freddie will always be the one that was closest to Elvis's voice both legends

[@jentwistle9425]

God bless Freddie , incredible performance and performer.

[@muppetmike69]

What can I say 🤔 the performance was 10 out of 10 the man was a genius his voice was amazing 😊 RIP you legend 😢😢

[@victordevonshire807]

Freddie was a one off. Great comic and loved Elvis. Worshiped him. Like Kirsty McColl sang "Theres's a guy down the chip shop who thhinks he's Elvis". And there were loads of them. Elvis was brilliant. And Freddie just showed his love and respect. 🤠❤🙏

[@michaelsamuelbruff2917]

First saw Freddie in the very early 60’s, he had his own group and was at the vanguard of the Liverpool sound, but because he really enjoyed mimicking other singers became a top comedian, but in his shows always did a spot of serious singing, thanks for the video

[@grumpystrainset-4357]

Freddie Star was a comedian first but he was a great impersonator of many great singers

[@ianhepplewhite8334]

We saw Freddie at the Club Fiesta on Teesside, in north east England, twice in the mid 1970s, and he was amazing. Until then I wasn’t a big fan but he was superb. He did jokes, mimicking lots of famous people ‘and’ singing many songs from the late1950s/early 1960s. He was the ultimate performer, plus he could take down any heckling. We saw him again in the 1980s at the Portsmouth Guildhall, where he shared the bill with his pal comedian Lenny Bennett and they had great fun. A great loss. RIP Freddie.

[@colindowd9756]

What a pity Freddie can't see the pure love and affection for him ❤

[@winifredrobinson5132]

Singer, comedian, stand-up, minic and impersonator and actor. Crazy as a bag of squirrels, brilliant and so funny. No one ever knew what to expect when he was invited on shows or when he was interviewed. Nothing planned. Saw him live twice. First time came out swinging on a rope dreased as Tarzan! Absolutely brilliant.

[@viviencockle2116]

The Jordanaires stated that Freddy was the closest ever to Elvis’s voice.

[@lindamerrett6600]

Love Freddie Starr

[@delskioffskinov]

was actually quite a video guys! i remember Freddie from my childhood and loved the weeman lol!

[@joewilkinson9443]

Freddie had all round talent which gained him his own talent show . Impersonations, stand up, story telling, singing and able to make up a sketch/ bit by putting it all together.

[@hazelpickard6821]

Freddie star was brilliant a zany comic and multi talented rip

[@alecgough5179]

Freddie Starr was a very funny and talented comic, anyone sitting in the front row at one of his gigs were terrified in case he got them up on stage and just ripped the pi... out of them. R.I.P. Great man.

[@leslietheobald6162]

He's also a convicted paedophile.

[@bobbyboko6317]

Freddie started out in a band in Liverpool in the 60s the same time as the Beatles, multi talented and unpredictable but brilliant.

[@seanford2358]

The Midnighters were his band…legendary British producer Joe Meek produced a couple of their most well known 45s though they didn’t have any chart success.

[@dalegowler6436]

Elvis In the ghetto his best . our boy Freddie was a comic with a difference

[@SteveMcqueen-gc7rm]

Freddie was a singer first,in Liverpool in the 60s with the delmonts and the midnighters,then he became a comedian in the early 70s appearing on a British talent show called opportunity knocks,which he won. He always said his first and biggest hero was Elvis xx

[@danielhead8123]

Don't is one of my fav Elvis songs

[@lindamerrett6600]

Love you guys reaction.🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@MetalMonkey]

Suspicious Minds is one of his top songs, everyone knows that and Jailhouse Rock, Can't Help Falling in Love with You, Blue Suede Shoes.

[@watchreadplayretro]

Brilliant Freddie, Brilliant N&G!

[@jameshealy8402]

The Girl Of My Best Friend by him and The Jordanaires is even better

[@ant7936]

Agreed. Just watched it again. The Jordanaires came back for a second show appearance with Freddie.

[@camrenwick]

Freddie was a great singer. He loved and respected Elvis. I'd say Freddie was a natural born clown and gifted singer.

[@ironclad57]

Freddie did summer seasons in my home seaside town. I got to ‘party’ with him a few times. The stories I could tell

[@BrianDuncan-l7k]

Freddie Starr- Born in Speke - Liverpool

[@Jack-pu4rf]

Freddie Star was a great comedian and singer he was almost banned from telly vision, if you watch Vincent you will see what I mean

[@BernardWilkinson]

The reason "Brits" aka English can do American accents so well is that British English is the Mother Tounge.

[@andy6576]

Freddie was definitely a comedian first BUT...he was nearly in the Beatles! This is true, he knew and hung out with them in the very early days in Liverpool, so yeah, initially he wanted to be a singer.

[@bucket7r]

Back in the 60's the beatles was a warm up gig for Freddie at the cavern, john even wanted him to join the band but Frddie was taking off on tv so declined he was massive in the uk

[@mrman9561]

One of the best comedians of his generation and the next the man could sing so beautifully but just make you crack up with laughter so underestimated An audience with Freddie was done twice like ken dodd because they were absolutely amazing and brilliant god bless them

[@royburston8764]

Suspicious minds is my favourite too

[@AndyNightingale]

The Jordanaires would have been SO WELL REHEARSED (with Elvis), that they would be able to pick up a line, a tune or a track *IN LESS THAN A HEART BEAT!* Freddie Starr was not "doing" Jim Carey. When this was filmed, Jim Carey was still in his school shoes. It's a good impersonation. It wobbles in places but there are moments in the song that sound strikingly similar to Elvis.

[@alanbedworth4629]

Great reaction lads to a brilliant entertainer. Brilliant

[@cricketbat09]

Freddie was a notorious comedian here in the UK, known for his random behaviour on tv shows, but the public loved him!

[@leo1314ok]

Elvis was Freddie's hero and never "dissed" him. He did hilarious work with other people's songs but never Elvis.

[@johnstill164]

Freddie was, without a doubt, an amazing impersonator...especially of Elvis of course. He was also such an all round comedic entertainer...Guys, also you should check out Ben Portsmouth, a Brit...and probably the GREWATEST impersonator of Elvis...that has EVER been...Thank you so much for this by "our Freddie..." He has many any famous impersonations worthy of checking out.

[@pozzyuk7504]

Great reaction

[@anthonyg4671]

You need to go down the rabbit hole of Hugh Laurie for talant in all sectors.

[@elliothughes9030]

The Joidanners said he was the greatest Elvis impersonation ever

[@hazelpickard6821]

See some of his comedy its off the wall

[@danielhead8123]

Robert Pattinson as batman his accent is incredible

[@kimberlywoodyard9027]

You need to Check out Ben Portsmouth, Doug Church, Trent Carlini, Bill Cherry, Pete Storm, Cody Ray Slaughter and many more ones besides this guy that I’ve never heard about.

[@handsolo1209]

The Chris Jordanaires are the GOATS.

[@maureen348]

For Freddy to sing one song straight takes a lot of self discipline as he had an attention problem but he did a few Elvis song with them. In some you could see him wanting to break out but the Jordanians were willing him to do it.

[@jeffreyprice773]

Pre army Elvis was best Freddy died some years ago , he was a comedian also fronted Liverpool groups at the time of the Beatles and the Mersey sound export. He portrayed Hitler in wellington boots swastika and all, very funny.

[@emmaseager1006]

And it was his own voice

Where does he think the American accent comes from?

[@squirrelandchick9484]

Freddie was a great entertainer but, treated so badly by the press towards the end of his life.

[@leedavies4589]

i had the pleasure of being humilated by Freddie Starr as a younger person was best day ever Freddie Starr at Blackpool took the pee out of me 47 now the press killed this genius

[@regd.2263]

Can't see the video

[@stevew3196]

Freddie wasn't really an actior whe he was an amazing entertainer and mimic. One of the few people I've seen who can go on stage and make people laugh befilore he sais a word. Sadly the end of his life was tragic. There was a huge scandal in the entertainment industry in the UK. Radio DJ and TV presenter Jimmy Saville was exposed as a prolific paedophile and serial abuser following his death. Accusations were made against a number of other personalities over a number of years. A oolice Task Force was set up to investigate. Freddie was arrested in 2012 as part of Operation Yew Tree and questioned 3 times. Details of his arrest amd the allegations were released in the media. In 2014 police announced thatcin Freddie's case there was no evidence to support criminal charges. The media and many of the public who loved Freddie turned against him. It really was trial by ordeal. He spent much of his fortune on lawyers. He moved to Spain became alcoholic and depressed. He died there virtually penniless in 2019. An English Funeral Director (Michael Fogg from Sheffield) a fan arranged to repatriare Freddie's body back to the UK and conducted a service in Merseyside attended by a large number of his Showbiz friends and fans. Freddie is buried in a kocal churchyard in a greve with his Mother and Step Father.

[@patdoe5242]

Your comment is spot on I felt sorry for Freddie he was one of the best comedians and entertainer of all times I loved him and when I saw him on the news saying nasty things about him I knew they weren't true I cried

[@petercoleman7882]

Freddy starr and the Jordanaires, how I cringed when I first saw little short freddy trying to step into the shoes of Elvis, not a pretty sight.

[@frankbpook9370]
