Thought this old cunt was dead but no, he is oit on tour once more prostituting his iffy vibrato, forever in the shadow orf Elvis and too damn old ever to rip his trousers orn stage again (his one time publicity standby). Me memories orf the cunt go back to the early sixties when he was constantly cooking up bad boy headlines – splitting his pants, falling orf stage, drunken fights in clubs, bankruptcies and career come-backs.

Recall with some nostalgia the Opportunity Knocks when the legendary Hughie Green (who died alas too early for this blog) introduced him shrouded in black as “the mystery singer”. Seconds later oit came that excruiting vibrato and mystery no longer.

This bootleg video is delightfully crap enough to convey the manner orf the man…
