Another great icon of my formative years. I was terrified of Christopher Lee. Even more so now!
RIP. Never ever forgotten.

RIP Mr Moody. Best Fagin ever.

He was a very handsome man and a great actor RIP

I remember him for so many roles....
His understated evil in my favourite film "Wicker Man" was brilliant, and his cameo for the Wicker tree was the highlight of the film!

I was lucky to have worked with him a few years back when he made a heavy metal album.

Showing my age...

I was into concept albums in my late teens, and in 1977 there was a superb album called "The king of Elfland's Daughter" .. (and my vinyl version is worth a lot of money!) which Christoper Lee ads the King of Elfland was the hook on which the album hung

THe whole album is here:



His whole track at 16:20 is superb and gave me a whole new insight into the actor that I only knew from the Hammer films


OT.... "Death Bringer" (7:35)by PP Arnold is one of the most powerful songs that I had heard at the time, introduced me to a whole new genre and remains one of my favourite tracks of all time
