Would have been 73 today!

Ronald Wycherley (better known as Billy Fury) born this day in 1940 in Liverpool. He was one of the most famous stars of British Rock and Roll and in his day sold as many records as Elvis, the Beetles and Cliff Richards. The statue is in the banks of the Mersey where he worked on the tug boats before he was discovered. If you are old enough you might remember Half Way to Paradise...
