THE BOOK LAUNCH 27 01 2010

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Have to say that although the face was familiar, it only dawned on me after seeing the pictures that it was Bobby Crush.
So out have come the Three LPs, the Two ..THE BOBBY CRUSH INCREDIBLE DOUBLE DECKER PARTY WITH 101 GREAT SONGS, and THE BOBBY CRUSH SINGALONG PARTY.
These LPs have accompanied us at many a party, and we still have a recording of us all singing along to these at my Mothers Eightieth bash.

[maureen & harry]

We too were surprised to see Bobby Crush but wasn't sure if it was him until we saw the picture of him with Michele.

We saw him on the cruise we did last year where he did two shows and was the headliner. He was fantastic and proved what a superb talent he has. He played such a range of music which was what impressed us the most.

At the end of each show he received rapturous applause from the audience and we hope his career will continue for many years to come.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

We hope so too Maureen and Harry, and so nice to know that you enjoyed his talent on your cruise.
He was so popular on our TV screens back in the 70s, and just a shame that good variety shows have vanished now in place of reality shows, where none of the entrants, even those lucky enough to win, could hold a candle to those acts who entertained us then.

Thanks to you all for your great accounts of that special night-I can almost feel that I was there with you all--just wish I had been.It sounds just wonderful.

[ROBERT M.]

Did Bobby Crush win either New Faces or Opportunity Knocks ? ..............glad everyone had a great time at the book launch

[mariana44]

I have a feeling it was "Opportunity Knocks"--i can vaguely remember Hughie Green calling out his name--again--and again !!

[Mark Fox]

He worked a while in Australia-a big pal of the late,great Danny LaRue.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Bobby Crush made Six winning appearances on Opportunity Knocks.

He has an interesting web-site...a lot of nostalgia..www.bobbycrush.com

[Sandra]

Went into WHSmith and Waterstones this morning looking for 'the book'.
I couldn't see it on sale in either shops.
I did ask in Waterstones though and they looked on their computer(the young fella had heard of Matt!) and told me that they were waiting to receive their order and could reserve it for me.
I made my excuses and left

[Lena & Harry Smith]

We know it wasn't at Picadilly's Waterstones Sandra. Dangerous in there. Leona Lewis received a punch in the face while book signing a couple of weeks ago.
Perhaps the guy had already had a preview of her book.

[Sandra]

Perhaps she was singing!
Actually our fella did say that sometimes if the books are coming from a smaller publisher they took a bit longer

[Marian]

I actually found a copy on Abebooks, an online supplier of rare and collectable books. There was only one copy available, but at least it was there.

[Mark Fox]

I think Michele is book-signing in Waterstone's in Harrow on Saturday so they'd better stock up!

[Marian]

It's good to see Amazon now have the book in stock, but only four copies remaining this morning.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Let's hope they are snapped up quickly and Amazon get the message.
