Billy Fury (vlastným menom Ronald Wycherley) patril medzi prvé britské hviezdy rock and rollu. Od konca 50. rokov do polovice 60. rokov zbieral hity ako Wondrous Place, Halfway to Paradise či Jealousy — v 60. rokoch sa 24 jeho singlov dostalo do britských rebríčkov, čím vyrovnal rekord Beatles. V 60. rokoch strávili jeho skladby na britskej hitparáde spolu 332 týždňov. Fury sa venoval aj filmu, hral napríklad v Play It Cool (1962) a That'll Be the Day (1973).
Kompilácia The 40th Anniversary Anthology vyšla v roku 1998 na vydavateľstve Deram. Set ponúka 63 skladieb na 2 CD, ktoré mapujú Furyho tvorbu od roku 1959 až do polovice 60. rokov. Medzi zvýraznenými nahrávkami nechýbajú Maybe Tomorrow, Collette, Talking in My Sleep či Don't Jump, pričom väčšina skladieb pochádza z rokov 1959–1966.
