Remembering Billy Mackenzie, troubled genius with an incredible voice, born #OnThisDay in 1957.

📷 Although he couldn’t drive, Billy bought himself this Mercedes SL. Spot one of his prized whippets in the driver’s seat (Record Mirror).

#90sTop30 (vi) ‘Give Me Time’ #BillyMackenzie. I saw an interview with Jim Kerr once, describing Associates’ work as “spy thriller music” - and this, a co-write with Paul Haig, continues (superbly) in that vein. Quite a direct lyric, sung brilliantly. m.youtube.com/watch?v=0hbL...

"Shapes affect me. I visualise the music that I produce; it's just that no one else can see it. I like to put the shapes of inanimate objects into an audio sense."

Smitten by his first appearance on Top Of The Pops. Mailed a postcard to his record label in appreciation, saying his music had helped me get through my school exams. #BillyMackenzie
A photograph of the amazing singer Billy Mackenzie looking coquettish in cap, I think the same one he wore the first time The Associates appeared on Top Of The Pops performing their single Party Fears Two.
