Billie enjoyed a great build up of success with ‘Tell Him’ but her career hit a brutal and very tragically early stump at the end of 1963. It was while promoting her follow up single to ‘Tell Him’, the song ‘He’s The One’. Billie was involved in a serious car accident along with Jet Harris of The Shadows. Jet and Billie had become a much loved and hounded couple for the tabloids, and were together in a chauffeured car that hit a Midland red bus. Billie in fact pulled Jet from the wreckage and both sustained various injuries. In particular Billie received a serious broken jaw and as a result was unable to do any performing or promotion. This caused serious damage to her career, as the music industry was at such a fast moving pace, Billie was temporarily lost from the limelight. Once recovered Billie was back to work and had success with songs such as ‘Angel Of The Morning’ and ‘Want you to be my Baby’. She enjoyed touring the globe and discovered fans from Communist Europe to South America. In particular she found much success in Spain with ‘I Want You To Be My Baby’, produced by Michael Aldred, featuring the voices of Madeline Bell, Doris Troy, Kiki Dee, Kay Garner and the Moody Blues, pulled from the studio next door. Billie actually also translated and recorded a version in Spanish. She also recorded the Moody Blues classic Number ‘Nights In white Satin’ which she performed on Spanish television and had a hit with it there. Loving the country and its people Billie spent a great deal of time in Spain and still has very much a strong fan base there today.
