Billy Fury Harry Lime

Ronald Wycherley, born on 17th April 1940, Smithdown Hospital, Smithdown Road, Liverpool, Lancashire, England, UK, better known by his stage name Billy Fury, was a musician singer-songwriter & actor from the late '50s to the mid '60s, having remained an active songwriter until the early '80s. Rheumatic fever, which he contracted in childhood, damaged his heart, contributing to his premature death. An early British rock 'n' roll and movie star, he equalled the Beatles' record of 24 hits during the '60s, having spent 332 weeks on the UK chart, without a chart-topping single or album.
