Billy Fury (1960) |
The Sound Of Fury was the first album released by Billy Fury in 1960. What's amazing about this album was that all ten tracks were written by Fury. He was arguably the first British Rock 'n' Roll artist to write his own songs.
It featured Joe Brown on guitar, Reg Guest on Piano, bassists Bill Stark or Alan weighell and Andy White on drums. He also played on The Beatles first single Love Me Do. Also providing backing vocals were the Four Jays. It is rumoured that the Four Jays were an early incarnation of 60's beat band The Fourmost although this has recently been proved untrue.
The album made the top twenty, reaching UK 18 for 1 week. It was not well appreciated back then but now is regarded as one of the most important early British Rock 'n' Roll albums.
The tracks on the album were:
- That's Love (Fury)
- My Advice (Wilberforce)
- Phone Call (Wilberforce)
- You Don't Know (Wilberforce)
- Turn My Back On You (Wilberforce)
- Don't Say It's Over (Fury)
- Since You've Been Gone (Wilberforce)
- It's You I Need (Fury)
- Alright, Goodbye (Wilberforce)
- Don't Leave Me This Way (Fury)
(He also wrote as Wilbur Wilberforce).
