No I don't think Tommy has been "honoured" yet.

I saw Joe at Darlington Arts Centre a few years ago. Great show and of course fine guitar playing. And he did "That's What Love Will Do" !!

And a whole new generation saw him in the movie of the Concert for George and were duly gobsmacked when he wound up the evening with "I'll see you in my dreams" on the ukelele. (There's a vidoe clip of him singing that on the link I gave.) Tat was better than an OBE.

"A picture of You" was always my favourite, after I saw him live donkeys years ago.

Tommy Steele is alive and well! He just finished his second season of performing "Scrooge" live thoughout England. His fan club publishes quarterly newsletter which will keep you up-to-date on his activities. The fan club moderator has nominated him for a Knight- hood with all appropriate support. Hopefully his name will appear on the next honours list. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tommysteelefanclub

I thought he was brill in the 50's but he was the first rock n roller to sell out and become a family entertainer. Jo Brown never did although his appeal is very wide.

No, he's way to gay to be called "sir."

Tommy deserves a Knighthood smashing bloke!

One to come from the forerunners of Folk Clubs, acoustic music in cafe bars


Deserves it, as good as any Rugby and Football players I could mention !
