That damned Operation Yewtree did him in - He was never the same after that.
RIP Freddie. You were comedy gold.

Freddie could certainly sing and sometimes, as Des O'Connor might say, he did so the right way and not his way lol. I thought he was quite good with Elvis's backing group, The Jordanaires, when he sang with them on his show:

I remember going to watch him live when he did the summer season at Great Yarmouth. Never laughed so much.
Was a brilliant show, a brilliantly funny & talented man. RIP

He always made me laugh, he was such a funny guy. My father and I met him a few times at race meetings, he owned a few racehorses back in the day.
You only had to look at the him and you would be smiling from ear to ear, such a nice fella to talk too, quite hard to tell when he was fooling about as you didn't know when he was being serious or not. Last edited by Dallas; 10th May 2019 at 07:50.. |
