Tommy Steele

Tommy's speech at the Variety Club Luncheon in his honour. The Savoy Hotel 1983

[@carolhegarty6482]

I was in the audience at that first variety show at the Empire Theatre, Sunderland in 1956 and enjoyed many more of his shows over the years. Great entertainer.

Wonderful man 🙏🏻❤️

[@HookedOnSonics518]

Ever since I was little, my dad played 'Finian's Rainbow' in his house. Tommy's singing, acting, and dancing were so on point in that movie, which is one of the reasons it's still one of my favorites.

There’s nothing like a bit of patting each other on the back with these people,Could it be Nice on the way up.Meeting them on the way down Syndrome.I Spoke to a lovely old hairdresser who used to cut His hair in the late 50s early 60s and she told me he was not as nice as he likes to make you think he is.

[@mylesag2]

HOW CLASSY!! He seems like a great, wonderful guy!! Thanks for posting this. I felt honored to have shared it.

[@everettthepetractionguy4222]

I've been a fan of this incredible man for 51 years. I still am!

[@sarah.d9409]

I love this video and... also Tommy Steele!!!

[@geoffm9944]

Tommy was a remarkable all round show business performer. He worked hard to succeed after leaving the pop music scene, and unlike other pop artists, who fell by the wayside after a few years, Tommy became a talented song and dance man. He not only performed in theatrical shows all over the world, but also carved out a successful career in films.

[@ratcliffescharteredsurveyo9735]

Saw him play the Winter Gardens in Morecambe, in my first rock concert when I was 9 years old and he was 19. Been a lifelong fan ever since. Never seen this acceptance speech at the Variety Club Lunch before. Lovely guy and a gifted speaker in addition to all his other talents as a painter and sculptor. Last year he played a short season at the London Palladium, of Scrooge, I think.I was away and so missed it.

[@Joyzeee]

What a wonderful entertainer, a true brit, thank you for giving us so much pleasure with your love of the stage. Thanks for sharing the video, absolutely brilliant x

[@kajpagan]

[@alfching2499]

All a Load of Baloney ,Boring People,Back Patters.

[@stephenwalker8192]

Brilliant speech

[@Marlondurran]

Top humble lad..

[@ChristianW1975]

a gentleman if there ever was one

[@Nadiacloete]

Ah remember seeing Tommy in Benoni, South Africa in 1957. Absolutely loved him!!!

[@diddydiddycool]

Intelligent, talented man. Funny how half his speech goes way over the heads of those assembled.

[@deborahearle4151]

He comes across as very warm hearted and amiable.

[@mariecsmith]

just seen him in Scrooge - brilliant - dancing and singing

[@Nadiacloete]

@TheDiddlysquat Thanks for that! and he certainly did! We had no TV in SA for a long time, so didn't see anything of him later on, and I often wondered what had happened to him. Loved him to bits, so was very pleased to see all that had happened to and with him!

[@rach5516]

Saw Tommy in the musical Scrooge a few times. He was wonderful.

[@rhughes38]

yes the man was the best actor in happiest millionaire, had to go to amazon to find half a sixpence which was never widely released in stores in fact i dont believe the stores ever had them . unless i missed them when they were out.anyway this guy is very likeable.

[@michaelhampton9493]

Where's his Knighthood ?

[@EmilyKBlosser]

Tommy Steele: possession of the greatest mouth of teeth in England... ;)

[@aap257]

Well said!

[@vickywil]

He has an O.B.E

[@sail1948]

@antman26g Thanks for the info, I really did think he was dead. Do you know if he's still into showbiz or if he's given it up?

[@moonharp]

*sniff* coo...

[@hjp1hjp22]

Tommy Steele looked like David Dimbleby in 1983.

[@everettthepetractionguy4222]

In this video, he looks like Tucker Carlson with blonde hair. For those of you who may have never heard of Tucker Carlson...he's an American conservative political commentator for Fox News.

[@sail1948]

I thought he was dead.

[@rhughes38]

[@kohedunn]

He was born in Bermondsey London , and is a true Cockney

[@Nina5144]

anne dunn - he is great, but actually he's a sarf londoner, not a cockney

[@michaelasmith4489]

Tommy is English. If your referring to Finian's rainbow it's called acting ..rumour has it he's not even a real leprechaun .
