Hi Robert, i just didn't think it would be anything to do with Tony from "West Side Story" this time.
Anyway this one should be easy..... "In Clear view and remembered"

We wondered also Paul if your clue was "I've Got Love" :lol: ?

Very neat clue clue Robert-I am not sure I would have got that one, so also well guessed Harry and Lena.


Is the new one

"Out of sight, Out of Mind "

I am not sure about Pauls one.

No, Shame For You is not I've Got Love.

You will have to think outside the box for Shame For You.

Sorry, Marian, it's not. But that was a good guess. I've never heard Matt Monro sing Isn't It A Pity; I've only heard the duet by Michael Feinstein and Rosemary Clooney, which is exquisite, and perhaps a rendition by Ella, which didn't make an impression.

Shame For You is a different type of song title to guess. It's related to one of the Brit Award nominees tonight.

You need to continue searching.

Well, it was just a guess --I did not really think it was correct.

The "Isn't it a pity" that Matt sings is not the same one that you are thinking of---I wish it were, as it is a great song,-and I have some lovely versions--including Barbra Streisand. First mention of Michael Feinstein on this forum---am I the only one who likes him on this forum????--his "MGM "album is in my top 20 albums.

I obviously need to rethink on this one. I do not know if the "Brits" clue will help me much !

Nothing is coming to me--I do not know if any of the previous ones are right, but at the moment, they do not seem to fit!

Is the link Bob Dylan?? Or George Michael?? It's not a Spanish title. Is it ??

I think we may need another clue !!

I think Paul said he'll be away for a few days due to ice and snow problems. Maybe someone else might like to take a turn in the meantime.

Marian :wink:

Yes Paul did say that, but he has been on the board since. But as we all seem stuck on Pauls one, we could go for another one--if anyone has one ready?
