Crazy

It's a solo effort on the Billy Fury web site for the month of June.

I've done a laid back version of Patsy Cline's Crazy, one of a number of recordings I've made for a potential new solo album.

In the late 1950s and early 1960s Billy Fury was billed as England's answer to Elvis. Born Ronald Wycherley on 17 April 1940 in Liverpool, he became one of the Larry Parnes stable of artists, appearing on TV shows such as "Oh Boy". During the 1960s he had 24 chart entries, clocking up an impressive 258 weeks on the Top 50.

The website keeps Billy's name and music alive through an excellent collection of sound and video resources, interactive forums and the monthly "Sounds Special" feature which contains an free album's worth of music recorded by artists from all around the world. There are some superb artists amongst the regulars and you can comment on the "Sounds Special" songs using one of the forum topics.
