- Ronald Wycherley, better known as Billy Fury, was an English singer, musician, songwriter, and actor. An early star of rock and roll, he equalled the Beatles' record of 24 hits in the 1960s and spent 332 weeks on the UK chart. His hit singles include "Wondrous Place", "Halfway to Paradise" and "Jealousy".
Born: 17th April 1940, Dingle, Liverpool
Died: 28th January 1983, St Mary's Hospital, London
Died very young at 42 years, like Elvis Presley. The 10" album 'The Sound of Fury' is such a great album, a must for R 'n' R fans with all tracks penned by the man himself some under the pseudonym Wilber Wilberforce
Billy.....sadly sadly missed.
He's more than halfway to paradise now and he's in a more wonderous place than we are at the moment.
R.I.P to a gentleman and a legend
Remembering Billy Fury on the 40th year of his passing. ❤️

I will check it out
Loved lisening to billy fury loved his songs in the 60s RIP
Thank you Paul.One of my favorite singers,even though i was born 20 years after Billy
Sadly missed, a very good singer .I remember him more in his later career, I think that he was in eith That'll Be The Day or Stardust with David Essex
I loved his songs & i wondered what happened to him ,i knew he was only young when he passed R.I.P.
Billy also starred in a film called ,"I've got a Horse" alongside Amanda Barry with whom he had a short term relationship. Play it cool, was a great film also starring Helen Shapiro, Shane Fenton and the Fentones (Alvin Stardust, not forgetting Bernie Winters and a few more well known British faces. I have to admit I was a great Bill Fury fan and 1963,the only time I was to see him live at the Liverpool Empire he was too ill to attend. He was 6 yrs older than myself and may he rest in peace.
You must be a nice 24 years old then mate 😂 👍🏻
Billy Fury's racehorse was called Anselmo.
One of the Greatest singers,a very well kept grave lovely headstone .

Just loved watching this film of billy finel resting play so said will never be forgotten lsobel
Sadly missed by me and my brothers he was a great singer
Rip Billy 🙏
Many thanks for this. The Sound of Fury album was written by Billy Fury although some tracks were accredited to Wilbur Wilberforce which was an alternative name Billy used for songwriting. Billy also appeared in a early 70’s film called That’ll be the day starring David Essex alongside Ringo Starr, Keith Moon and Marty Wilde. The date Billy Fury died is a date forever in my mind as it was my 21st birthday.
Love Billy’s music RIP mate
Thank you for this one Paul. I have wondered where he was, I watch a few of these like yours but I think that no one has ever shown Billy Fury. I recorded him on the TV doing all his hits. Thank you again Paul.
Superb! Thanks. I’ve always wanted to visit Billy. He’s one of my top favourite singers. I’ve liked him since I was a kid, he died the day before my 11th birthday. 😢
Thank you for another sensitive video
A beautifully done video Paul. My late Mom used to love Billy Fury. I'm always struck by the peace and tranquillity of these resting places.
Great Video I live not that far from this cemetery and alway go and look at his grave. It's actually 2 Graves away from Annie Lennox's son's grave. It's a massive piece of rock. She had it brought down from Scotland.
Hey Paul thanks for posting this great singer Billy was went far too soon 💯💯
Another great video. This is someone I would also like to visit. It's a shame he's not in Liverpool, but I quess it was his wish to remain in London.
Thank you! I intend to visit Mill Hill. xx
Theres a lad that performs weekly in Whitby, Ray Randall that backed Billy Fury for a time. Well worth a visit, great show, great stories. Every Wednesday at the Station Inn, Whitby, from ~19:00.
*Rest In Peace, Billy.* You are missed.
Thank you, Paul. The cemetery looks very respectably looked after.
Stay free. Rab 🌠 🕊
What a beautiful headstone and very well kept xx thank you Paul xx
Fantastic 😊😍
Beautiful headstone thankyou for all your hard work 😊
Hi Paul, I live 5 miles from Billy’s grave, and visited his grave earlier this year. It’s a lovely cemetery, with an area of commonwealth war graves too. Paul, if you had’ve looked to your right from Billy’s grave, about 5 graves down, you would see the grave of Annie Lennox’s son. ❤️🩹 Well done Paul, another nicely narrated video.
Why?
@@peterchessell28 why not?

My first Teenybopper’s crush.

Rest in peace billy fury
I enjoy your channel you the best
Thank you glad you enjoy it
We have got a new beautiful bench, end of September, and beginning of October. We went to pay our respects yesterday the 2nd of October, 2022
Your support of Billy is so appreciated keeping his memory alive. Thank you Pauline.
@@stevenmorris8325 thank you too.
Thank you so much for all the research and hard work you put into your channel much appreciated. I often wondered where his final resting place was so thanks to you and your exellant research i now know. I remember vividly the song Colette which was my name sake i truly admired Billy's talent so sad he went too soon so handsome and talanted.
You're very welcome
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏RIP
Fitting tribute to, not only a great artist, but a genuinely nice bloke to all who met him. Does anyone know why he is buried in London as opposed to Merseyside?
A couple of weeks prior to his passing he attended Joe Brown's Mum's funeral in London and commented on how nice the service and cemetery were. He also had a house in St John's Wood.
@@stevenmorris8325 Thanks for that. I know he had a smallholding in Wales at one time. Absolute legend in my eyes.
@@sisyphussapprentice8976 agree. Absolute legend. He had the farm in Brecon at the same time he had the London home. I think Lisa his partner still lives in the London home.
Elvis,s Film "Girls,girls,girls" was released in 1961
Awwww
In West Hampstead there is a very grubby alleyway named Billy Fury Way. Apparently it was given the name in 2011 and an image of Billy was added to a nearby wall. It may have seemed like a good idea at the time but it is hardly a fitting tribute to Billy. I would also mention how much I enjoy Paul's accent. It is too refined to be called Scouse so I suppose I should call it Liverpudlian!
Hi Paul, thanks for doing another great video of a great singer! I was wondering if you could tell me the title and composer of your lead in piano music? Think its a great piece of music! As for Billy how did he end up being buried in a London cemetery? Did he marry a London lass? Regards, Phil
click on the video description gives you the link
He was in tbe film that will be the day. David Essex Ringo star billy fury. Or was it stardust. 1970s to feature films at cinema

Big influence on Morrissey. Moz is a big fan of his.
I bet you any amount of money Tyson fury comes out tommorrow and says it's his cousin
Love the videos
Could you please find where Anthony Hancock is buried, please Thank you
I'm think he's in the states
@@interestingplaces1 He committed suicide in Sydney Australia on 25 June 1968, apparently his ashes were taken to England by satirist Willie Rushton and were buried in St Dunstan's Church in Cranford, London.
You look somewhat like Glazers, owner of Manchester United
so sad loved his music well..still do
