JOE LONGTHORNE 'IN MY OWN WORDS' 2014

[@GillPreston-rj7dk]

The most underrated entertainer in the UK he was absolutely brilliant and a great man. RIP Joe xx

[@AJ-zr6us]

Was an absolute pleasure working with him. Top entertainer, top bloke. Rip joe

[@hancecrawford]

Sad that lengend Joe Longthorne is gone he was super entertainer will be remember by many fans in Blackpool North Pier and winter gardens great guy

[@Kuklapolitan]

I came to Joe very, very late in life. I'd never even heard of him before and happened across him here on KZbin...but when I heard that incredible voice, range and saw his presentation, I had to wonder why I hadn't heard of him. It seems Joe Longthorne belonged to England just like Dusty Springfield did. He had a huge following and like Dusty, had his own popular TV show but Joe concentrated all his efforts in the UK. Dusty was different, she loved the new sounds from America...specifically the Motown sound and sang back up for many groups at that time. She brought it into her music as best she could but we associate her mostly with her hits. Both Joe & Dusty could sing the phone book and make it entertaining! She was a well rounded performer and was a Pop Star before we even knew what a pop star was. Although Joe never had the string of hits that surfaced in the USA, his wasn't the hit parade type of music and with sincere apologies to Dusty, neither was hers...but each song came at the right moment here in the states and it happened at the right time for her. She cemented her legacy in both places. What Joe sang, he sang from the tips of his toes to the ends of his hair...just like Dusty...but he was a different type of performer. He loved the intimate "Supper Club" feel and cherished his concert venues in Blackpool where hundreds or even thousands could be with him. He made every song and every audience his. Joe had a voice that knocks you out. Those two epitomized the sounds of musical love like no other person or group has ever done.

[@kimmarievan-ever6599]

Could never understand why he wasn't a mega star as he had such a talent..the lady singing like Streisand was amazing..I was lucky enough to see Joe many yrs ago at the height if his fame in Jersey..he was bloody amazing..such a genuine nice guy..gone..but never forgotten..RIP Joe..man of a thousand voices..and a corker of a human being..🇬🇧💞🙏✝️👍👏👏👏

[@waynechadwick9396]

Joe was very special. My theory is that despite Joe's huge success , it may have been different if he hadn't impersonated and stuck to straight singing because his singing voice was beyond measure. That's my theory

[@spooktasticaparanormal]

Superb singer and all round entertainer. R.I.P Joe.

[@louisianna5524]

Brilliant man and entertainer, I don't know how he sang with throat cancer, so strong, bless his heart ♥

Brilliant entertainer and I remember when I was entertaining in Eastbourne at Kings Holiday Park and Joe would do his show. He has an amazing following. I am now in Blackpool on the Central Pier and amazing to see Peter Sedgwick here in this video along with Joe.

[@maureencrossfield5614]

Great man Great entertainer loved bye everyone x

[@LeeJohn70]

Joe was a one off. Who else could bring Sinatra, Martin, Davis, Bassey and Mathis etc to everyone in 1 room. There will never be another like Joe Longtnorne Joe had a gift and it was such a shame that he was not given his own permanent TV show when he was alive. Joe was and always will be a pure genius. Will never forget you Joe, the world was lucky to have had you. 👍🏻👍🏻😁

[@alygodsquad]

Absolutely agree !

[@joymaxfield7589]

Thank you I know what you went through ,as my husband ,of 45 years ,had a bone ,transplant ,so I do know ,thank you for this .xx❤️👍⭐️❤️❤️

[@OpticalTurnkey]

I remember seeing Joe at Blackpool in the 80's, I was walking around the pier where a man at the time was stood leaning looking over the water, he said hello how are you to me and was not until years later I realised that nice man was Joe Longthorne. Although I did not appreciate his music back then, but proud to have spoken to a legend. I am sure jimmy Cricket was also on that night... 86/87 i think maybe...

[@Caprani83]

God Bless you gypsy Joe ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jeanhorn8891]

Another gone too soon. RIP ❤️ from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 to Blackpool Sadly missed Joe you never cried out loud. ❤️ to family and friends and James

[@lainegee1983]

Saw him maybe a year before he died in Blackpool and I was amazed at how great his voice was considering his heath woes. One of the best singers I've seen live.

[@AndrewPrice-d3d]

The best vocalist I have ever got to know love his voice we miss you so much rip to the legend 😢

[@digeme69]

Very moving watching this, I remember seeing Joe growing up on Des O'Connor, The London Palladium and The Royal Variety shows. I saw him live as a teenager at The Cosy Nook Theatre in Newquay Cornwall and sat very close to the front. He was super talented, had a strong voice and was very humble. My dad and I got his autograph after the performance when he signed his LP for us. One of the best entertainers we've seen.

[@h0rsefuneral]

Didn't know he had died 😣 remember him on variety shows and summer specials as a kid in the 80s

[@pattimmins3777]

God Bless you Joe earth's loss is heavens gain reunited with all your friends their in for a treat you are top of the bill in heaven.

[@mrdeafa25]

Nobody ever impersonates Shirley Bassey, they impersonate Joe Longhorne impersonating Shirley Bassey.l

[@donnahutchinson4587]

I remember the very first time me and my late mummy went to see 👀 Joe Bradley Welsh was is warm up act Bradley was so nice and funny and very friendly on stage but that was just a act with Bradley as me and mummy found out at the end of the show when we first went to see 👀 Joe we waited for Joe Bradley came out first and me and mummy just couldn't believe how rude and bad mannered Bradley was towards us both and like I say he was just the warm up act we was waiting for the real star of the show anyway not Bradley he was ignorant..

[@user-iu3rq5pl1u]

Music to loud in the back ground spoilt it

[@AlmaBryan-el5pb]

Mist so much

[@intrusivenature9758]

If this video did anything, it was to remind me what a Sh*# Hole place Blackpool is. Dodgy Dickinsons daughter gushing about being a Massive Massive Fan from a child but waited 50+ years to see him for the very first time. You can't write this stuff. He was the only artist that would make my Dad turn the TV channel over lol.
