-Latest Updates-
As it's nearly Halloween there couldn’t be a better time to release a new single and video from that eternal Lunkhead Louis DePew. He wanted to do a song that would totally describe his character and I think "Porcelain Skin" is creepy enough.
Maybe if you each gave "Porcelain Skin" a crummy review it might help change his mind about being an artist and go back to Provence to resume his dayjob as a sheep herder. Please leave your worst on all music platforms and the following video platforms: Apple Music, YouTube, Vevo, TikTok Music, Boomplay and Tidal.
Merci et à bientôt!
‘Winners and Losers’
The latest Sutton Livsey song Winners and Losers is out now! This one comes from the Sutton Livsey vaults of tunes that weren’t finished before Gregg’s sudden passing. I want to put these out as more than just a writing partner but a fan of Greggs and all that he had left us. Enjoy that voice and his soulful guitar work.
Also, big thanks to Maureen Murphy who did the backing vocals and was a favorite of Greggs.
I will keep digging his talent and continue digging the vaults…
Now streaming, my recent single, “Dreamland” ft. Caitlin Quinlan …
Filmmaker and Producer Frederick Taylor discusses his history, philosophy, process and his film “Where Is America The Beautiful?” for which Billy composed the score. “Truth is endless and boundless.”
Many thanks to the producers of series Sex Education who included the song 'Rain or Shine' which I produced and co-wrote with Pete Sinfield for the group Five Star Official in the 80’s which is in season 4 episode 1.
'Rain or Shine' is streaming alongside the entire Sex Education soundtrack on this wonderful Spotify playlist...
Over 40 years ago, Billy co-wrote a song with Terry Britten and Sue Shifrin called “She’s Trouble” for the iconic Michael Jackson Thriller album. Michael started recording the song with his vocal on the track but the song was never finished. Christmas 2022 was the celebration of 40 years since the release of Thriller and a new re-release was put out with previously unheard Michael Jackson recordings that included “She’s Trouble.”
