"You'll never know" is a song that has special memories for us Sandra..

MOON LIGHT AND ROSES, ...there have apparently been over One Hundred recordings of this song, just a few favourites, Vaughan Monro, Eddy Arnold.Connie Boswell, Jim Reeves was popular, but it's TONY CHRISTIE'S version that we like,

Yes, we heard Dewi this morning Robert, although we haven't quite got the Hundred versions, although very nearly. :wink: it's a popular song.

Another oldie recorded by many ...THE SUNSHINE OF YOUR SMILE
Sinatra, John Mc Cormack, but Mike Berry's version was different but good. :) :)

"THEY SAY THAT FALLING IN LOVE IS WONDERFUL ".
Ethel Merman's recording suited the part, but although we like all of these recordings ... Perry Como, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett Johnny Mathis. the best again is Doris Day. :) :)

"IT MIGHT AS WELL BE SPRING"---Andy Williams, Johnny Mathis plus loads of others---it's John for me-especially singing the verse.
