One of mine is 'Could It Be Magic' -famous in recent years by Take That, but I mean the Donna Summer version.

I always thought it was 'Hearts a beating,' whereas it is 'Oh Sweet Peter.'

Hi, thanks for that.

Managed to get them from iTunes and it's all sorted now.

Thankyou!

Hello everyone. I write the drama shows for my school, and the most recent is my own take on 'The Rocky Monster Show' -NOT 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' --too risque, apparently! :D Anyway, we have been rehearsing the show recently with the music with vocals on the CD, but I was told last lesson that ...

Her rendition of 'When A Child Is Born' i think is nice, as the words are not the same, it is named under 'There Comes A Day.'

Seb

Thanks for that!

Haven't seen it before, so DVD is ready to record!

I think this marvellous lady of song needs her own thread...

What do we all think of her? I absolutely love her, and have a collection of over 700 songs & radio shows etc!

Seb

Well, I never knew the memorabilia part of the site existed! My save button has been working ten to the dozen!!

No, she said it definately was the Central Pier and he wasn't with Morcambe & Wise....

My Auntie remembers seeing Matt on the Central Pier in Blackpool, but cannot remember the year...Does anyone have any idea of when this may have been? She said that he was absolutely wonderful (as we all know he was!) It would be nice if anyone had a picture or a poster from this time aswell. :) Sha...

Most of Gracie Fields' films were musicals, and some very well known songs were in them... Sing As We Go - the title song is epitimous with Britain of the 30's/40's Shipyard Sally -Oh Danny Boy, Wish Me Luck as You Wave Me Goodbye Sally in our Alley -Sally She made many more films, but the rest were...

I have all her albums -I love her!

I've not heard Piaf's english version, but have heard quite a few songs in English by her. -Going to look for the Les Baxter version now, as I do love the song and the English line of 'But remember please: A woman hugs you tightly, but a rope can hug you too!' Les Amants Du Un Jour IS the song about...

Very interesting list, and very glad to know someone else likes Piaf! Track 4 however is 'The Ballad of Poor Old John' rather than the 'Poor People of Paris.' Another favourite of mine is 'L'Accordioniste' Oh! and 'Les Amants Du Un Jour' -both quite sad... Elaine Paige recorded an album of Piaf song...

Two people in my opinion deserve a knighthood who have not got one... Tommy Steele and Bruce Foresyth.

Another musical love of mine is Edith Piaf. I went to see her film life story yesterday 'La Vie En Rose' -it's French with English subtitles...I found it heartbreaking but it was fantastic. Still not as good as 'The Jolson Story' though, but 'The Piaf Story' IS brilliant, and I urge you to see it if...
