Billy Fury became an overnight music sensation in the late 1950’s when his moody brand of rock & roll earned him the nickname of ‘Britain’s Elvis’. The Sound of Fury album was a landmark in British Rock & Roll history and this new programme highlights the importance of Billy Fury’s contribution to British popular music. Fury was Britain’s original teen idol and had more Top 40 hits than the Beatles during the 1960’s. Featuring interviews with Lord Puttnam, Amanda Barrie, Vince Eager, Len Goodman, Clem Cattini and Billy’s mum, Jean Wycherley.
