I can still remember the dazzling smile he had while playing on 1960s tv.

Considering Russ appeared in so many TV programmes from the late 50s up to the mid 60s, very few of his live performances survive, due to the video tapes being wiped and re-used. How short sited was that.

Great video. It is great to finally see Russ Conway, after a lifetime of hearing his name occasionally; but that piano flat! It sounds like it was tuned in Blackpool, by a shyster. You can hear what he is trying to play but none of the sounds sing; because the entire keyboard is utterly FLAT! Thank Russ. I'm sure you did your best. Thanks, Andy.

Is it possible the piano keys have nails in them? I think that is how he got the honky tonk sound normally...

Great video Matthew. He certainly knew his way around the keys 🥰 young Tarby and loved that Russ talked. Only heard him play before 😎👍

I always like some of the background instruments to this song on the stage performance a Spotify song doesn’t have better with its flow of harmony quicker pace. I love this harmonious tune and his works. :)

Any idea what year this was? I know that Norman Vaughan took over from Bruce Forsyth and Jimmy Tarbuck to over from Norman Vaughan - so probably 1965 - 1968? Loved Russ Conway's trademark turn and smile at the audience as he played. Wonderful that he could play like that with one damaged finger. (None of my fingers are damaged and I can't play a thing.)

When he turned to smile at the audience my mum said he was smiling at me. I believed her. Well I was only 4 at the time.

The year was 1965. I think "Beggars" was his second single of that year.
