I'm in love with Holly Johnson. What an incredible musician and artist, incredibly creative, and incredibly sexy.

That LWB coupled with mid-engine, light-weight (barely 1/2 of a Mk1 TT) and relatively big rubber mean ridiculously confident handling. Gearbox is easily handled if you're a mechanically minded driver, at which point it becomes part of the character. Top tip people: take the ten minutes it needs to de-power the steering rack. There's a CZcams vid on it. It's quick and free and suddenly you have finger-tip steering that squirms and writhes like a proper sports car, loads up at higher speeds and is an absolute delight. Transforms the car!

❤ thank you for posting 🇬🇧🎵🐆👍

Hes looking fab ❤

There was some absolute shite on TV in the 80s.

Welcome to the Pleasuredome is one of the best Pop Album ever. An Pop Art Brilliance of a Album.

I am from that area and i saw the smart for the first time in this test drives. I fell in love how diferent it has. Went to the dealer and reserved one without then even knowing the lunch date.

Signing on every fortnight during the recording of Relax! What a great story of emerging from difficulty into success. God bless you Holly.

I loved watching this. Didn't really understand it as I'm an industrial town girl

And I will say it again. All live. no tapes or pre recordings. Just listen to the blend on two steps behind. The backing vocals in this band are on another level

I’ve just seen my dad racing here Laurie Hooton 180 along with our neighbour back then Alan Puddle 134 . Many thanks for posting this first time I’ve seen my dads car on CZcams

Wonderful

If this was on today it would be called one they and there them.

The way this was filmed you can't even see the Taxi properly from the cameras perspective.

I always love listening to Holly.... a very charismatic man, with intelligence. Great interview.

Holly is wonderful to listen to. A great story teller. So articulate and sharp.

So you guys looked down on Holly and you brought him into the band because you wanted to get your hands on his songs, lyrics and hold Holly to a contract and with the help of Trevor Horn you did. Maybe you met him yesterday after the game or someone who producing more fake pictures, evidences for you guys? What kind of ones that make it look like he had a hard on or like he is groping you? Who believes this other than maybe the ref who was paid off because even the suggestion that Holly, who was physically the weakest could have done anything to you other than lust is ridiculous. He wasn't even comfortable around you and Paul, which I don't blame him, the disrespect with which you surrounded him was awful. But Mark was toying with him, just so he'd start lusting after him? Was this part of your plan? So you want to destroy him this year, make him pay for the Liverpool album when your feminazi friends sabotaged him and make him pay for the band's lost income? You and the freeloaders still haven't stolen enough from him, haven't oppressed, humiliated him yet, like with that outfit at Eurovision or with that picture in the toilet. You make me seriously sick. Next year you want to perform at Glastonbury, but first you want to make him a slave to Trevor Horn again and live off his talent? Who's going to be your singer, Pete Wylie or Rayen Molloy? I know you control his social media and speak for him, you don't play his part well! #JusticeForHollyJohnson #AvengeHollyJohnson

Smithy in the old Tiger Griffin car I think . Classic stuff !

Thank you very much for this video. Very soulful indeed.

Two tribes rule

Great 👍 interview intreasting

Love Holly asa person and singer. . Legend back I. My day Relax. . Woe first seen live on the tube . Preform. 12 inch got before it was banned ridiculous BBC.. only no1 Holly he was FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD....BRINGS OUT NO1 ON HES OWN . JUST GOT BLAST LOVE IT

Holly has a unique voice, but Frankie were built on marketing and hype, which is not enough to sustain a long term career. They weren’t great songwriters, but they did get a great producer and marketer. I remember thinking when they had their big hits they won’t last on hype and one clever disco sound. Duran, George Michael, Crowded House, could consistently write great songs.

Trop bien !!!!❤

Je suis fan

Yesss

Wow ❤génial j aime ce que vous faites bonnes musiques et chanteur j adore.....

I also like Chicago that's my second favorite group I can't forget Van Halen give it away give it away give it away now Red Hot chili peppers Pink Floyd Chicago I'm a lover of good music and a funky beat

My favorite group is Queen especially Freddie Mercury he's like a genius

I meant to say was the group Frankie goes to Hollywood originally recorded the song called war remember Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan in rush hour they use that song but it was sung by other people

I wonder who recorded war

Very nice looking car indeed. Some hints of the Porsche 914 don’t you think?

Very cool interview. Smart guy

I had one of these -then I got a VX220 Turbo - tuned to give it 50 extra BHP - the Roadster was more fun to drive (except in a straight line obvs)

"Well it hasn't exactly got sports car lines / handling"... that aged well 😂

Incredible interview. Amazing questions and of course, Holly's answers totally nail every aspect of the journey. Holly is clearly a very clever and astute man and his pedigree and pop knowledge is a major aspect to his success. Bravo!

BILLY WAS AN EXPLOSIVE FRONTMAN IN THE FGTH DAYS, HIS VOICE IS SO EMOTIONAL, OPERATIC AND HE USES VIBRATO TO GREAT EFFECT. I COULD LISTEN TO HOLLY TALKING OR SINGING THE DICTIONARY AND I WOULD BE MESMERISED.

Im leaving a comment that not many will read. These guys are so amazing. Still killing it. Saw them at Radio City with a very enthusiastic crowd. Like a part of my family, they will be with me for life. Cheers to Chris and Glenn!!!

Here I am bingeing on Holly interviews and performances ever since watching the recent reunion (which we all thought might never happen). He's had such a fascinating and storied life and I love listening to him talk of his experiences and background.

Still a hero of mine , proud to be from the same town as holly Gutted I couldn’t get tickets to see him

Holly is a massive icon of my youth ,👌👌👌

'Europa' is a brilliant album and a truly excellent song. Holly has a voice that just has to be heard. And what a lovely man. Looking forward to whatever he does next.

Wow! Did I really sound like this!! Just found this by accident! Love the cassette animation! Best wishes Pete Baker

I miss mine too.

FGTH were my teenage years. I'd go see them if they reformed

I didn't think he'd be this interesting.

Legend

Thanks for up this video, god bless you! Awesome doc

Holly who? Oh ya the guy who said FU to the FGTH fans.

Dear Mr Johnson. Thank you for some brilliant memories. Coming to see you 16th Nov at Brighton dome. Can’t wait 👍🙏
