John Alderton saw him in a Joe Orton Play in Harrogate excellent actor I remember him from ,"Please Sir".But I love LDP! ;) Is she still Stardust or has she moved on ! :)
is LDP still living in that estate of gothic inglenooky houses in Hampstead/Parliament field?? She did this thoughtful wordy song on the David Nixon Show called 'round and round' I recall, wish I could find it.
This is the actual single that made the UK charts but the version that Lynsey sang for the John Alderton/Pauline Collins series was a different version.
Here in Canada, we only got a bit of this great song, used as the signature tune of the mid-70's sitcom/Britcom shown on the CBC, of th same title. I stumbled upon a copy on eBay and then her on the always well-informed youtube. Thanks for posting this great one!
it would be great if everyone got this on i-tunes and returned it to the charts 35 years after its first trip to the top ten - we can use all the cheering up we can get these days!
It is interesting to note that the BBC's interest in Lynsey waned quite considerably for many years after she scored this hit for an ITV comedy. So much so, they didnt even want her to win Eurovision in 1977.
I watched the sitcom in Boston when It was the only British sitcom on American TV at all(save Monty Python, which wasn't a sitcom).That was in 1976, and the Brit comedy invasion that I was waiting for("Who the hell needs HAPPY DAYS-why can't we have Selwyn Froggit!-Americans are so stupid!")didn't happen until the 90s.
I remember watching this UK domestic sit-com that starred real-life husband & wife John Alderton & Pauline Collins. Sure would be nice to see some clips from that show.
This was the theme to an ITV sitcom that was very popular. Lynsey was on form as usual, but somehow I prefer Won't Somebody Dance With Me as it sounded classier. However, even if she sung the London phone book, I'd still think it was good as she was so beautiful.
Oh yes you are right, there is a photo of Nancy Sinatra in the gallery. (Can't understand why) the rest are Lydsey de Paul. Beautiful girl and a beautiful song.
My wife & I loved the "No Honestly" TV series. Living in the USA, we did not know the theme was a successful record release in the UK. Nothing over here in the USA, as usual! Thanks for posting this! It's great!!!
EXCELLENT!

That Lynsey sure was a babe back then, and as articulate as they come musically, and lyrically!

Another touch of Spector-ish magic on this Top 10 classic from 1974. Lynsey wrote and produced the tune, and won an Ivor Novello award for it too.

Nancy is in there presumably because she covered Lynsey's first hit "Sugar Me".
