From a 1986 BBC documentary series called The Visit presented by the late Desmond Wilcox. Shakin' Stevens visits a fan recovering from a serious brain injury
Worth a knighthood just for this - shows what a great guy he is. Unlike many others he isn't looking for any glory and this is so much more than just visiting a sick fan. Hats off to Shaky !!!
I'm happy to call Connie and her mum good family friends. I met Connie and her mum in 2014 at the Opening of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and we just started chatting. I told her that I remembered her from the programme the Visit and from there on we became good friends. She actually stays across from where I live so we see each other quite a lot.
Says it all. Why is he such a phenomenon. Because despite it all,he kept it real. He's genuine. All the music,moves,looks,singing,is hung on a foundation of a decent man. Talent in buckets but the humanity shines through. A lot of stars would do well to learn from his story. Just pre-ordered his new album and was proud to see Shaky in 2016 touring his new style album then. It's all good and the new tracks very soul searching. Shaky matures,so does the music and we've got everything else as well. What's not to like. May it continue.
OMG, why wasn't he well known in America, I am in awe. Found out just a few weeks ago, his song came across my RU-vid and I played it and was shocked, WHERE WAS HE ALL THESE YEARS, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN AS POPULAR AS ELVIS, WHAT A WELL KEPT SECRET BUT IT WAS CRUEL. HE HAS A BEAUTIFUL SOUL.
Vejo uma doçura intensa no olhar dele...timidez e alegria de viver misturados a um bom coracao...um ser humano admiravel e um artista apaixonante. Parabens querido
Loved his music and the whole rockabilly era when I was a kid in the 80s and temporarily living in Europe, but never knew much about the man behind the music. Seeing interviews now, and these sorts of gestures, has just elevated him in my esteem as a human being. The music is secondary to his humanity. Thumbs up
True gentleman who went out of his way to brighten up Connie's life after what happened to her god bless Connie and her family and surely now it is time to recognise Sir Shakin Stevens
The only thing I find rather sad more than the injury of Connie in the video, is that 5 Low life’s could possibly down vote a video, when it involves a young person almost killed, you don’t have to be a Shakin’ Stevens fan to respect or appreciate the Sentiment here, I guess that’s just RU-vid, even on here there’s a certain amount of gutter crawlers - such a shame!
OI, Fiquei feliz por você ter gostado, este cantor além de fantástico é um ser humano incrível. Fez muito sucesso nos anos 80.Hoje ele ainda está fazendo show e diga-se de passagem continua lindo, charmoso e carismático. Bem vinda as fãs do Shakin' Stevens.
Now THAT IS what I call a MAN. And a great one. I love a man with love in him. True mark of a real man. God bless you Shaky. The amazing difference in Connie between that first and second visit of Shaky's is miraculous. She just came on in leaps and bounds after his first visit. Beautiful to see. Hope she and her family are still doing well. God bless you Shaky it was a beautiful selfless thing to do. Most would do just one visit but you went the extra mile. And God bless Connie and her family as well. It must have been so tough for her mum there at the start. It made a lump in my throat watching this mum watch her child in such a bad way. I'm so happy Connie made it through. Shaky you deserve a knighthood why you have not got one is beyond me. But you are a white knight to all of us, man. Good looking, great talent and great man inside and outside. You don't need Royalty to give you a knighthood, we know your true worth. Long may you live SIR SHAKY. Much love Susan xxx❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏👍🌞🤗🤗
Se me han llenado los ojos de lágrimas. Ha sido un gran gesto, el de rse cantante. Ahí ha demostrado, su gran ternura y calidez de esa persona. Le doy las gracias infinitas, por ser así. Ademas de un gran cantante, es de una gran calidad humana. Y me alegro muchísimo, de ver a esa niña, tan bien recuperada. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I remember seeing this all those years ago, always admired Doreen, for keeping it all together. Connie would be in her 40s now, wonder how’s she’s doing?
