Billy Fury (1960) |
The Sound Of Fury was the first album released by Billy Fury in 1960. The album is notable because every one of the ten songs was written by Fury, whereas the debut albums of most artists contain covers of already-popular songs. Fury was arguably the first British rock 'n roll artist to write his own songs, sometimes under the pseudonym Wilbur Wilberforce.
It featured Joe Brown on guitar, Reg Guest on piano, and bassists Bill Stark or Alan Weighell. Andy White, known for his performance in The Beatles' first single Love Me Do, is the drummer on the album. Providing backing vocals were the Four Jays, once rumoured to be an early incarnation of 60's beat band The Fourmost (although this has recently been proven untrue).
The album made the top twenty, reaching position 18 on the UK Albums Chart for a week. It was not well appreciated at the time of its release, but is now 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)
