A REALLY EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS MEGA RARE BILLY FURY 78
MAYBE TOMORROW b/w GONNA TYPE A LETTER
Billy Fury was born Ronald William Wycherley, at Smithdown Hospital (later Sefton General Hospital, now demolished), Smithdown Road,Liverpool. At the age of 11, he started music lessons, taking up the piano, and he received his first guitar at the age of 14. By 1955, the skiffle boom had begun in the UK and Wycherley led his own local group, whilst earning money working on a tugboat and then as a stevedore. By 1958, he was appearing locally, had won a talent competition, and was writing his own songs. Wycherley first attended a gig in Birkenhead, run by impresario Larry Parnes, in the hope of interesting the established artiste, Marty Wilde, in some of the songs he had written. Instead, in an episode that has become pop music legend, Parnes pushed young Wycherley up on stage right away. He was such an immediate success that Parnes signed him, added him to the tour, and renamed him 'Billy Fury'.His early stage performances were suggestive by English standards, so that he was forced to restrain himself from his more overtly sexual moves when a curtain was brought down at one of his shows. In October 1959, the UK music magazine, NME, commented that Fury's stage antics had been drawing much press criticism.
He released his first hit single for Decca, "Maybe Tomorrow", in 1959. He made his television debut soon after, in a televised play Strictly For Sparrows, and he was soon a fixture on televised musical showcases, such as Oh Boy! By March 1960, he reached #9 in the UK Singles Chart with his own composition "Colette", followed by "That's Love" and his first album The Sound of Fury (1960), which featured a young Joe Brown on lead guitar.
Billy Fury-Maybe Tomorrow
Rise in the morning,
youre not around,
searching all over,
you can't be found
then in the evening
I gaze above,
and ask the stars
the way to my love
I love you baby,
I really care,
I need your lovin
so hear my prayer
Maybe tomorrow you'll understand
then we'll go walking hand in hand
then in the evenin by the moon light
I'll hold you baby I'll hold you tight
maybe tomorrow
there'll be no sorrow
maybe tomorrow
maybe tomorrow
maybe tomorrow (end)
