A
short snippet which appeared in German magazine Bravo (1971).
Millionaire in
a furnished room
HIT king Jeff Christie still can't get
used to his sudden wealth.
After
Jeff sold three million singles in England alone with his
hit Yellow River, he chose
to splurge on .. a cine-camera.
"This
was the biggest sum I even spent privately for myself,"
he said.
"I
still can't believe that now I'm able to aford such luxury
articles.
"For
years I had to be thrifty and I was used to it."
Jeff,
who has travelled around half the world already, lives very
frugally and modestly in Kensington, London.
He
inhabits a room in a block which he shares with six friends,
all students.
"The
boys are all from Leeds, where I come from too," Jeff
said.
"Certainly
I'm able to afford my own dwelling, but last year I wasn't
at home most of the time .. and the thought that I have
a very big bank account is still strange to me."
