Really great cameo appearance by Pete Murray at 1.37. But how times have changed, with all those immobile girls! Today they'ld have been exhausted even at the end of this ballad.
I was Entertainment Host at La Tenda and Channel 9 Perth on-camera person in 1969, when Dickie Valentine was with us for 3 weeks in May 1969. Spent most of that time in his company, his wife Wendy and Syd Boatman. Loved the guy then and still do! So great to find this site! Had a similar experience with David Whitfield. Dr. Peter Harries Perth Western Australia
I have been a DV fan since i first saw him with Ted Heath in 1952 at the Aquarium Brighton. I have over 100 of his songs on disc, and never stop listening to then.He was definitely the best ballard singer/crooner that we have ever had .
If you listen closely to his voice he has afar better range that Sinartra etc
the girl who sang before dickie valentine is called diane todd, who also appeared in the film the six five special, also with,dickie valentine, and petula clark, joan regan, pete murray, and jo douglas
What a great voice and what a great loss to music. His diction was perfect you can hear every word, different to many singers of today, can't understand what they are singing about half the time, because their diction is so bad.
Dickie Valentine was one of my favourite singers when i was about 16,i saw him several time when he sang with the Ted Heath band,and later in the early 70,s in cabaret always a great performer.

What a beautiful man, his voice as warm and welcoming as he was in person, truly special in every way.

What great memories. They were singers back then, you could hear every word. Dickie was great just like David Whitfield. Nice to see this on here.

Loved Dickie Valentine and it was terribly sad he died so young in car accident.
I thought that his voice was wasted a lot on songs he was given it was meant for the romantic, this being one of the few.
