		Billy Fury, who died last week of a heart attack in his London home at the age of 42, had the talent and potential to become one of Britain's most enduring pop performers, but ill-health dogged his career.
		By this time, ill-health had forced Fury into virtual retirement at his farm in North Wales where with his wife Lisa he was to concentrate on breeding horses and become actively involved in wildlife conservation.
		A third single was due to be released next week, and Fury was confident enough of his health to have laid plans for a major British tour.

	Billy Fury - health (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Billy’s ill-health, which resulted in prolonged stays in hospital during childhood, two heart operations, and eventually, his early death, was caused by rheumatic fever.
		Typically between the age of 40 and 60, the heart is no longer able to compensate adequately, and sufferers begin to experience shortage of breath, fainting (with exertion) and chest pains.
		Billy's own health problems made him particularly aware of the suffering of others, in particular, children, and there are many examples of his humanity.

		Billy Fury was one of early British pop’s most charismatic performers and his 1960 LP, The Sound Of Fury, is still recognised as one of the best albums of the era.
		Fury’s may not have been the best voice in the world, but its plaintive tone struck just the right note for this song’s theme of a love that remains “so near, yet so far away”.
		The timbre of Fury's voice and the striking bolero beat is a match made in heaven.

		As the Beatles shared venues with Fury in their early days, this known relationship places Johnny and the Moondogs at the Levis Show in the fall of 1958.
		Fury's major chart success came later, and he's best remembered for "Half-way to Paradise" which endowed him with almost Elvis-like status in the UK.

	Music for Grown-Ups - 30/12/2005 : Billy Fury - pick of 1950s Britpop
		Fury emerged from the ranks of dozens of tepid Elvis clones unleashed on an undeserving Brit public in the late 1950s.
		Unlike his poprock stablemates (all boasting elemental stagenames — Wilde, Eager, Power, to name but three), Fury was the real deal, a very fine interpreter of big ballads, as well as a strong writer in his own right.
		Billy Fury passes the acid test for singers in any genre - he sounds as if he means the words he's singing, and his performances are capable of arousing a range of emotions.
