total run ca 80 min. Billy Fury became an overnight music sensation in the late 1950 s when his moody brand of rock and roll earned him the nickname of Britain s Elvis . Fury s stage performances and sexual charisma left his female fans screaming for more. He was Britain s original teen idol and had more top 40 hits than the Beatles during the 1960 s. Hits such as Halfway to Paradise; Jealousy; Maybe Tomorrow; Wondrous Place; A Thousand Stars; In Thoughts of You and many others have ensured Fury s place in pop history, despite his tragically short career. For the first time ever, Billy Fury s musical biography is now available on this magnificent full-length DVD along with a soundtrack of hits from his Decca career. His Wondrous Story highlights the early days of British rock and roll and Fury s dominance of the British pop scene. The programme features archive performance footage and interviews with Fury s family and contemporaries including Sir Jimmy Savile; Alvin Stardust; Vince Eager; Michael Winner; Paul Gambaccini; John Leyton and Clem Cattini.
