19.47 minutes in Billy fury/ Ronnie Wycherley comes in, he died a month later I think he was not eating, he was in pain, he had a heart operation and he could feel the pain, what a lovely person

[@martin77722]

thanks for sharing this post and seeing the late great billy fury

[@BunyanaRed1958]

Poor Billy Fury. He looked really ill. He died just over a month later.

[@Farrah300]

My ears perked up when he introduced Rick Parfitt. I absolutely love Status Quo!!!

The couple that gave the world the brilliant Kim Wilde 😇

And Roxanne! And Ricky's daughter Scarlett!

[@pritapp788]

@@maksphoto78 Yes!! We have Marty & Joyce to thank for this, they raised a great family.

[@mgparis]

And the musical genius Ricky Wilde

[@mgparis]

So much respect for the Wilde family, with all their long-lasting marriages - not to mention their talent, of course!

[@barbaracranford527]

Really enjoyed this, seeing so many memories paraded...

[@vintagebrew1057]

Loved Marty's tribute song to Eddie Cochran. His voice has'nt aged at all. I also enjoyed his talks about the early days. Thanks.

[@TREVORALLMAN]

As a Marty Wilde fan it's great to see this again. So nice to see Phil Woodward, as he was one of my teachers at All Saints' Primary School and he gave me my debut in goal for the school team.

[@elainevitucci4191]

This was so very wonderful to watch. Marty Wilde & his lovely family seem like such warm & genuine people, that I found the entire sequence so very heartfelt. I only knew of Marty Wilde because of Justin Hayward & his association with Mr. Wilde, and I can see how Marty’s influence have contributed to the success of Justin & the Moody Blues., and watching this video everyone can see how Marty Wilde has also so generously helped so many others. Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful video with us all. And many blessings to Marty Wilde & his family for making this world a better place. Thank you. 🙏💗🦋🌹🎼

[@vintagebrew1057]

Marty said in later years that despite seeing Billy quite often over the years, he was shocked when Billy came out and he knew something was terribly wrong. RIP Billy.

I loved Billy f ury he looked like my husband who died of heart problems to only 28 in 19 69 I miss him

[@rockster71]

Never knew Kim´s dad was so famous. A heartwarming show this one.

[@mikekaraoke]

How did you not know this?

[@dariowestern]

Look him up on Wikipedia. He has an extensive history as a rock and pop personality going as far back as 1957. Also recently released a fantastic album consisting entirely of originals called "Running Together" - the song "60's World" with Kim is one of his best ever numbers.

[@HTprodsDW]

@@mikekaraoke He was at the height of his fame 60 years ago. Not everyone's going to know.

[@mikekaraoke]

@@HTprodsDW Doesn't matter when it was, same could be the same for bloody Elvis. lol But know him due to Radio, Mags/Papers, TV programmes/ documentaries, Books, write -ups when in UK we had Ceefax/Teletext, through hi daughter Kim. etc etc So is irrelevant when it was!

KZbin algorithm jad worked its magic and I've just watched his anf Kim's appearance on This Morning. Still performing, still wearing the dark glasses a few days from his 85th birthday. Wonderful. Clliff, Mick, Paul, Marty. All octogenarians. Must be the need to perform music which keeps them young. Rock on.

[@tomhaskett5161]

This is one of the best TIYL I have seen. Poor Billy Fury was sad to see. Hope they had a good get together afterwards

[@timchurchill1166]

this so reminds me of my family born 1960 lived in a prefab nw10 london brother had a skiffle band , eventually got a gigster red glitter drum kit , and at six years old id jump in the bands CA bedford van with column gear change, i got my first ringo starr snare drum with ringo face on the batter side, my sister jane sadly stuck her foot through the skin , i would follow my brothers band they would find some where for me to sit amongst the amps in the back , The family then moved to stevenage 1969 every pub every wedding had a live band , live music was buzzing in those days then my brother bought an Ajax kit , Any way iam so pleased it paid off for you wildes, music is a Bug its hard to put it down , im so pleased you saw it through the hard times, and now due to nostalgia people want to go backwards to the past for obvious reasons , to a time when the world was a happier place , and real talent was needed to get on , so pleased youve had a supportive wife and family , and music has bounced off to other family members , you can all enjoy the fruits of your hard work and dedication, it was a lovely video you come across as a very down to earth family thats lived a life, lets face it the music business can make you poor financially but enrich you in other ways, years ago you could buy a house with the royalties now your lucky if you can afford a pair of levis jeans , life has changed dramatically for everyone including us musicians , oh well i didnt mean to write a book but again thanks enjoyed This is your life , funny enough i was saying to a friend yesterday we would sit there and the highlight was watching the golden shot how life has changed Take care

[@garethbramley1]

It's great to see these old shows and everybody looking so young - so many will have passed away as this episode is now nearly 40 years old. Would love to see 'Oh Boy' for the first time ever. When I wrote to TV companies in the 80s channel 4 (I think it was them) told me they had the rights to show it - but it never appeared. Roxanne is now as beautiful as Kim.

[@Farrah300]

Marty was such a sweet man to buy his parent the house they had always wanted.

Kim's mother was from Liverpool she was one of the Vernons Girls.

[@Farrah300]

The ending was very touching. I didn't know that Marty and Joyce had tried to have more children after the two they had, but they are definitely miracles.

[@silvo-sings]

Marty and Joyce have 4 children, Kim, Ricky, Roxann and Marty Jnr. (born 1983) they are a great family and Ive seesn Marty perform many times. He is singing better than ever and now in his 80's and touring as I write! " Silvo" kzbin.info/door/IS0BoBIRGEHgn19eYuoOag

I have sat in the front row under Mr Wilde, more than once with my late mother. I am sad I will never get to see Mr Whitcherly live(Billy Fury). My late mother saw Billy, & Cilla Black(Aunty Priscilla from Scotland Road)live in Birmingham. You older people did hear quality music first hand, LIVE, apart from Auntie Shirley Veronica of Bute Street, Tiger Bay, we have had rubbish.
