He appeared in a Billy Idol video.

I heard "The Little White Cloud That Cried " on Sunday and remembered seeing him on tv in the 50s . He cried as he sang the song . He really was a soppy **** .

My mum and aunt loved him, he was a massive star in the 50s, but they never realised he liked a bet at both meetings and batted at no 6
during those days, it was all very innocent back then

well hid but never innocent

He was a very big star in the 1950s!

He had 3 UK Number 1 singles!

"Such a Night" - 1954

"Just Walkin' in the Rain" - 1956

"Yes Tonight Josephine" - 1957

Plus 6 other UK Top Ten singles!

So he took it up the Aris ? That might explain the tears and partial deafness could be the reason why he put a finger in one ear while "singing" . Any music lover in the vicinity would probably have a finger in each ear .

All I know is that he broke a million hearts in mono.
