My Itunes has just switched from "Simply Red"--- "Holding back the Years"--to Matt singing "When I fall in love"

[Marian]

I've just put on "En Espana" and "Grandes Exitos En Espanol."

My itunes has just picked out Barry Manilow's "Copacabana Remix" from the "Hot summer of '78" cd---to be followed by "Easy to remember" by Stacey Kent.

Who knows Stacey Kent??-I have never seen her mentioned on this forum--she is a jazz-type singer--very distinctive voice.-I think she is great !

We are listening to The Ames Brothers on GMMY, a fantastic American group very popular in the Fifties. We need your Help please !!!.... can anyone tell us who it was who recorded the song " Harry Is My Love", ( well, as far as we know that is the title) or "Harry Makes Me Smile"
It's because Harry Birthday was mentioned on GMMY Radio with songs about Harry and it's driving us nuts trying to think of this song.
Robert may know

I remember a song called "Harry" by a singer/songwriter called Catherine ??? I think-----and then "I'm just wild about Harry"---not to mention "Harry, My Honolulu Lover" from the Nolan Sisters. But I cannot think of any other "Harry" songs

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Thanks Marian perhaps that could be it. I'll do some net searching.
We know the tune, but only those words come to mind at the moment and we've heard it so many times.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

We've got it , This time we've really got it with a little bit of help from our friend Marian.
It just came to Harry. It's Catherine Howe who sings Harry and it's co-incidental, her Birthday is the same day as Harry's,( different year of course) and she was also born in Yorkshire.
So thanks for that Marian, phew !!!!

[mariana44]

Yes, that's right--Catherine Howe--I just could not recall her second name---that is a lovely song!!

[Lena & Harry Smith]

It is a lovely song. Just looked at Catherine Howe's web-site and she received an Ivor Novello award for this song in 1975.

Hi Lena, Harry and Marian,

I heard an interview with Catherine Howe a few weeks ago.
She was the guest of Roger Day on his evening show.

Catherine is still performing and Yes, Roger did play the lovely song about Harry!
She does a lot of jazz these days and plays mainly smaller venues.
So you never know, Catherine could be playing near you sometime soon!

[mariana44]

1975----I cannot believe that song is 32 years old---or has my Maths gone haywire

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Yes you never know Hilary. She writes most of her own songs and had a CD released last year, " Princelet Street."
Marian she actually recorded Harry in 1974.

I loved this song and I think I have it on a single somewhere, does anyone know if it is on a cd?

[mariana44]

Check Amazon and ebay--they both have cds of Catherine Howe that include "Harry "
