Yes we know that one " Burlington Bertie" Marian.

Ella Sheilds sang this one, Hetty King was another old timer who dressed up as a man for her songs like "All the Nice Girls Love A Sailor"
Saw them all at the Met Edgware Road :)

Here's another, "CLAIRE" the moment I saw you Gilbert O' Sullivan :)

Hi Marian--yes "Gina" "Jenny" and "Wendy" are all titles of JM songs--here is another from JM--at the time I do not think it was intended to be a name, but it is now a very famous name---

"Cherie"

Will I be breaking the rules if a song title has two girl names? I listened to this lovely carol last night and thought it was perfect for this game.
