Billy Fury
This gold lamé suit is typical of those worn by Billy Fury in the early 1960s, and the original can be seen on the cover of his The Sound Of Fury LP. These suits were made popular by Elvis in the US and copied by British rock ‘n’ roll stars including Fury and Shane Fenton (later known as Alvin Stardust).
