As others have said, this belongs to a very different period in time. still a great fun tune. RIP Wendy. What a remarkable career she had in show business.
This song is spot on with the lyrics.No car so you took your girl friend to the dance on the bus and had to get her home by 1030 pm.No back seat of the car for a snog so had to leave the dance hall with your hand duly stamped so you could get back in and round into the car park in a vacant door way (if you were lucky).No funny buisness tho, just a snog and a quick grope if you lucky.These are memories of the PLAZA dance hall ROOKERY ROAD HANDSWORTH BRUM.1962 Any body else out there remember?.
fuk i wish scientists could crack the biggest mystery of all TIME so i could go back to this era. respect for each other very little crime not much money but happiness
As has already been said, it takes me back to another world, a lot less complicated, I'm walking the streets window shopping with my girl before going off to the Mecca for a dance.
@ageingoldrocker i agree mate,they do say "you dont know what you've got till its gone" they were bloody great days.Please see my other comment ,does this ring a bell.
@Glenn1967ful She's very alive in this video, by the sounds of it, take a listen. Unless you knew her personally, no reason you can't relax and enjoy this classic. I got it in my record collection, bought it while still in Highschool. Thx4 the post.
@gculloty87 No according to the record label it was written & produced by Charles Blackwell, Charles did work with Joe but fell out with him before Charles went to work for Robert Stigwood.
Reminds me of the day I was banged up in an english boarding school, miles away from home, awfully homesick and this was the song that made me a smile...thank you for posting it. PS It still makes me smile....
Oh, so THIS is the original! Not bad at all. I used to listen to the (naughty) version of Judge Dread from begin seventies. hought the Judge made it.....
This always takes me back to a different world, one I think I'd like to return to. So sad to know that this young girl has not only got old, but died.
Miss Brahms, i do believe you are free! I was gutted when I heard the news yesterday, and even got a little welled up watching a a fantastuc tribute to Wendy on BBC1 after Eastenders! I used to always watch programmes when she was on! Thanks for the entertainment Wendy, RIP x
wendy was a great actress i shall miss her so especially as pauline fowler in eastenders she will be sadly missed rest in peace wendy - from dave in manchesterxxxx
I remember this song from 1962. I qualified as a doctor in 1961 and used to get a real blast from this song while I was a houseman working a 60 hours week in hospital. My God, but those were the days!
Good bye Wendy, this was an excellent song and you were so good at what you did, I will always think of you as Miss brahams... Are you free? you are now... good bye miss you xxx

I believe Wendy was paid a mere pittance for her contribution to a record that sold in its thousands. She never forgave Mike Sarne.

@tarquin45 Wendy was just a 17 secretary who worked at the record company, Mike Sarne was the singer, I think Wendy got £50 for 1/2 hours work.
