Freddie 'Fingers' Lee has died.
He was one helluva an act. You have to admire a man who can play the piano and sing while his head is on fire!
His act was largely modeled on that of Jerry Lee Lewis, but he brought in other musical influences as well. His stage act also owed something to Screaming Lord Sutch.
Freddie was a mainstay of Jack Goode's revival of 'Oh Boy', where he performed alongside Marty Wilde, Shakin Stevens, Matchbox, and other stars of the late 70s-early 80s Rock n Roll revival. 'Ol One Eye', as he called himself, will be much missed among my peer group.
I always his version of Lights Out, with a great intro, and yes, he does set his head on fire. Enjoy!
Rest In Peace, Freddie.
