Who now remembers Tommy Steele?

[sandyRoe]

I think you'd need to be nearing pension age to remember him.

[mrs_overall]

Tommy the Toreador

[Mamyalynne]

Well he is still treading the boards and was on Alan Titchmarsh show last year.

[Buenchico]

I only catch fragments of Steve Wright's show ('cos I can't stand the guy) but I'm sure that mentioned Tommy Steele was booked as a guest on the programme some time this week. He definitely did the 'tracks of my years' slot on Ken Bruce's show earlier this year.

[redman41]

He's a nice chap by all accounts and was watching him on 'The One Show' just now

[mrs.chappie]

Oi! Nearing pension age indeed. I remember him well, and I'm still in me prime. [:o)

[sandyRoe]

It was seeing him on The One Show that prompted my question. I had a feeling that lots of young, and not so young, people wouldn't remember him.

[kawakiri]

Watched him as Ebeneezer Scooge in Manchester a few years back, excellent performance. Deserves to be knighted.

[marval]

I remember him from way back, good to see he is still going strong.

His wife lived in the next street to me before she went to London as a dancer. Her dad was a rag and bone man, I suppose he has now become an antiques dealer.

[mrs_overall]

Our local rag and bone man now drives a white van and calls himself a dealer in non ferrous metals!

[woofgang]

I am 15 years off pension and I remember him, he paints too.

[micmak]

i saw him in half a sixpence. I thought the show was rubbish and left after an hour.

born in 1936

Ahhhhhh memories, I used to have pictures of him all over my bedroom walls. I was 15 then, it was the man/boy I loved, not so much the music. I still love to see him on the few occasions he is on TV.

[tamborine]

He also did the statue of Eleanor Rigsby which has become a much loved land mark fpr the people of Liverpool

[dotty.]

Eleanore Rigsby? was she a landlady?

when i was smallish about 1964, we were given a load of 45s and What a Mouth was amongst them, glass song that is,
