Roy Frederick Budd (14 March 1947 – 7 August 1993) was a British jazz pianist and composer known for his film scores, including Get Carter and The Wild Geese.
Born in South Norwood, Surrey, Budd became interested in music from an early age and began to play the piano when he was two, initially by ear and then by copying various melodies he heard by listening to the radio. When he was six, two Austrian music experts visited him at home and after various tests, found that he was pitch perfect. In 1953, he made his public concert debut at the London Coliseum. By the age of eight, he could play the Wurlitzer organ and four years later he was appearing on television at the London Palladium. Although widely thought to be a self-taught pianist, he did also receive piano lessons from a lady called Mrs Sax who also lived in Mitcham.
In 1950, and 1951 he featured on the Carroll Levis show on radio. Roy also won a talent competition on a television talent show hosted by Bert Weedon in 1952, He sang some Jerry Lee Lewis songs when he was eleven years old with his brother Peter and a friend at the Sutton Granada under the name "The Blue Devils".
Se muy bien que soy
un amigo mas entre el monton,
que solo soy un fan de corazon
que no te para de soñar cada dia mas.
Pero se tambien entre la multitud
alguna vez pudieras ver la luz sobre mi piel
para reconocer el amor mas fiel
Yo necesito de ti como el aire
nadie te puede querer tanto asi..
Un poco de tu amor para poder vivir
un poco de tu amor me puede hacer feliz
solo un poco de tu amor es lo que pido
Dame una señal un minuto para conversar
dame tan solo una oportunidad
para poderte enamorar, cada dia mas.
pero se tambien entre la multitud
alguna vez pudieras ver la luz sobre mi piel
para reconocer el amor mas fiel.
Yo necesito de ti como el aire
nadie te puede querer tanto asi..
Un poco de tu amor para poder vivir
un poco de tu amor me puede hacer feliz
