on guitar.
BILLY FURY -
WEBSITE
These pages are a tribute to a man who from the late 1950s, brought a
great deal of excitement into many lives. Beneath the show biz glamour,
he was a shy, gentle man who trusted people, loved nature and won the
respect and affection of everyone whose lives he touched.
That influence remains today, as Billy's fans are the nicest people you
could wish to meet.
Although his management and commercial pressures led him to become known
to the public as a balladeer, Billy Fury was Britain's number 1 rock and
roller.

A true rock n roller who could play a guitar better than most in his days

If he had lived on, I firmly believe he would have been bigger than Elvis.
