Any Paul Jones fans out there?

The Manfreds appeared at one of our local clubs the day 54321 made the charts. Paul Jones trod on me as they pushed their way onto the stage! About 25 years ago he was singing at the theatre I was working in. I had to take a bottle of wine up to his dressing room. Just as gorgeous as ever and I was struck completely dumb.

I had a photo of Paul Jones on the ceiling so that I could gaze at him while in bed.
I was cheeky to my dad and he ripped it off.?

In my thirties I saw him in an outdoor concert at Castleward NI.
My best friend told him how much I liked him and he gave me a huge hug (swoon time).
He autographed my M^S buns wrapper- the only paper I had. I have it in my keepsake box.

I saw him and his wife in a restaurant a few weeks ago. I didn't believe my partner that it was him because he looked too young, but another customer went up to him and asked and he confirmed it.

We used to go to the Floral Hall at Morecambe and sit on the stage when groups like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones etc were on. We had a phase of putting our hands up their trousers sometimes and pulling hairs out from their legs! It tickled us to bits then but I bet it didn’t the musicians! The stupid idiotic things we did!

Yes we’ve seen him a couple of times at our local theatre. Still has great voice. I used to listen to his radio show.

I’ve always liked Paul Jones, but I remember being surprised when he suddenly turned up on the Christian music scene with his wife. He used to be a vocal atheist, then he and his wife both became converts and I think they do quite a lot of talks in churches nowadays. I saw him on Songs of Praise about ten years ago and he’s kept his boyish good looks and his voice was as good as ever. His harmonica playing is really, really good.

Thanks for the memories I never saw him in person but always thought he was lovely. We never got any big groups where I lived. We had to go to Blackpool to see anyone famous and that was only Ken Dodd!!!!

That voice - just wonderful!

Yes I saw him in Hair too. 1968, in London. I was 18 and quite red faced with the nude scene. ??

yammy, i took my nan to see Cilla Black in Blackpool. She chuntered all the way through about her awful voice, short dress stc etc. I thought i'd done nan a huge favour.

I knew someone years ago who was in Hair!

Just watched a clip from Songs of Praise on YouTube (thanks Grannyactivist), he hasn't changed much indeed.

He still has that wonderful voice too Callistemon.
I love listening to him singing Bad Bad Boy on YouTube.

Still love to hear ‘Pretty Flamingo’.

Takes me back to sitting round our local swimming pool with a gang of friends, listening to it on someone’s transistor radio.

I was about 11 years old.

Some controversy about it, was ‘flamingo’ slang for ‘prostitute’?

Either way, I loved the song and could visualise this beautiful girl in her crimson dress, sashaying down the street and attracting the attention of all the boys!

I didn't know that about flamingo.

I remember the lyrics in If You Gotta Go, Go Now being thought of as very suggestive.
