Re: cinemas
 

I have a question about The Saturday Morning Club at the Odeon.... did I dream this, or was there a serial shown about a Native American head that was kept in a bag and could work magic? I seem to remember it being called Chico Rainbow, or something like that. Does anyone remember that, or have a made it all up?

Re: cinemas

Re: cinemas
 

Billy Fury? did he sing "shakin all over".. what happend to him? and did he really have one arm longer than the other?

Re: cinemas
 

No, that was Johnny Kidd & the Pirates. Billy Fury is best known for his ballads like Halfway To Paradise, but he cut some killer rock 'n' roll sides - Gonna Type A Letter, Don't Knock Upon My Door - records which came closer to matching the sound of US rockabilly than any other British artist.

Wasn't he a scouser too? Can't have everything I suppose ;)

Best rock 'n' roll singer to come out of Liverpool, bar none, in my opinion...although I expect there may be a few who might disagree! ;)
