Adam Faith

as the kind of hangover number one from 1959.

And then you're moving into Michael Holliday and Anthony Newley and Adam Faith.

There's still that crooner type singer thing, although you've got the difference obviously between the Americans and the British ones as well.

Yeah, yeah.

That's like a seed.

It's like the beginning of a genuinely British-sounding pop music, which you haven't really had in the late 50s.

Adam Faith's working with John Barry.

Even though he's clearly mimicking Buddy Holly with his vocal, together they create this quite unique sound of this run of hits with a quite unique sound of pizzicato strings and hiccuping vocals.

The first film stars David Essex, Ringo Starr, Billy Fury, and Keith Moon.

The second film stars David Essex, Adam Faith, Larry Hagman, Marty Wilde, Keith Moon, Dave Edmunds, and Paul Nicholas.

The producer of the first film and the second film was a fellow called David Puttnam, who went on to have something of a incredible career to say the least.

So I should just preface this by saying that Scott's covered this film before on Real Britannia, and I covered this film back in 2013 with our very good friend Dr. Zomb on the Love That Album podcast.

You know, I don't think that he says, "Oh, I'm gonna be a musician." He has friends who are in a band, and he talks to them, and people keep saying, "Oh, are you still playing the, the mouth organ?" Does...

I don't think he has any particular ambitions.

I mean, in the second one, you see Adam Faith says he just wanted to be famous, which makes sense, which is sort of his, more of his mentality.

No, I thought they were both really good.

and I remember an

episode of Budgie with Adam Faith where the guy...

Who was the other bloke in Budgie? Was Adam Faith and the dodgy bloke? Ian Cuthbertson.

Yes.

Yes.

That's all I'm saying.

This is from Rob in Birmingham, "Russell, can you do Adam Faith's last words with a comedy fart noise at the end?" John, do you want to do the comedy fart?

Yeah, why not?

Channel f- this is apparently his final words, "Channel Five is all something like S-H, you know.

Channel Five is all sh-, isn't it? Christ, the crap they put on there, it's a waste of space." [farting] There you go.

Adam Faith's final words.

Someone texted in to say that given that you're gonna fart before-- after you die, your last words might as well be, "Listen to this, too good to miss.

Do-do-do-do-do-do."

He's popped up in things.

He was a regular in a show called The House That Jack Built, which was a starring thing for Adam Faith, a sitcom.

That was 2002.

He was in, you might have seen this, he was in one episode of Trollid.

And the people who they interview, I mean, it's just remarkable.

Carl Jung for half an hour and the next week it's Adam Faith.

I mean, it's just this remarkable mixture of people.

The Rambling Club.

You'll be learning You won't hurt me no more Wait till you hear me laughing You'll know the score You'll know that love is cruel Don't you know it Don't you know it And you'll know you've been a fool Don't you know it Don't you know it But look And you see me standing here all alone.

Three songs in the British chart today in 1961, The Everly Sisters with Temptation, Rick Nelson, Hello Mary Lou, and Adam Faith, and a song called Don't You Know It.

Well done's on the quiz now.

Now, where do we get to? Anita in Epsom, Tony's got it right, so has Bruce, Brian in Derbyshire, Patricia in Munich, Herman in Munich, Serge and Boy have got it right, David and Trina, and Annika's got it right in the Netherlands as well.

Yeah.

Britain, I mean, the pop music scene was, at the same time as Dylan came along, the pop music scene was Cliff Richard, Adam Faith, people like that.

Once the Beatles and Dylan came, then you got some great British pop bands, the Who, the Kinks, the Rolling Stones, you know, great bands.

They followed a little bit behind that first wave.

But just going back to that Bob Dylan record you bought, was that the first vinyl record you bought with your own money?

No, no, I had bought some trap before.

Then I bought an Adam Faith album.

Nothing against Adam Faith.
