[Globall6]

Are you sure your mother wouldn't be mortified with her photos being in the public domain?

[whenjazzwasking]

I have the Petula Clark version, however, Anne Shelton is a favourite of mine too. It happened in Adano, If you ever fall in love again and A kiss in the dark are just 3 of my favourite AS tracks

[gdl0748]

Anne's voice is so reminicent of the great singers of the 50's. Clearly a talented woman. Beautiful song .

[redsnapper1959]

Terrific rendition by Anne of Petula Clark's UK #1 . . . this version reached UK #10 the same month . . . February 1961.

[Jo1Kim]

BRT: I joined the RN in 1965, and my mother used to sing this song in the pub. I wasn;t really embarassed, cos she enjoyed  itso much.

[attillathehan]

Anne Shelton sang the song "I.T.A.LY " (means I trust and love you)

It was very popular in the late fifties.

If anyone has this, please share with everyone.

Would appreciate it very much

[shatinterry]

finally got hold of it, great song, heard so many times on air from the radio in the 50s, then slowly disappeared as radio DJ s playing this sort of oldies getting less & less, so pleased to find it on youtube.. ,

[FelicityAnne0509]

@shatinterry Thanks so much for the sharing....likewise to Joans20thCentury for having it uploaded. A very beautiful rendition by Anne Shelton.

[powerspade]

Anne shelton was a beautiful lady with a beautiful voice

[jcriedijk]

Thank you for posting.Anne was without doubt the best female singer since the early 40s. A rich mezzo-voice she could have been a classical singer which she proved in a glorious version of Greensleeves with enormous orchestra. I know classical singers who consider her version as a standard!!! In my country Holland they would say to young arrogant singers:Who do you think you are,Anne Shelton?! which explains how admired she was over here.Her album with Irish Folksongs is a real gem.Great person

[davidwalsh66]

does anyone know of a version of this song by eileen rodgers it would made o great posting.

[marty2b]

A fantastic song and pic show. My eldest brother jonined the RN in the 60s when this song was played a lot on Sunday radio (2 way family favourites). I joined the RN in 1970 (Falklands in 82) loved the song then and still do. Really can identify with the pics. Brilliant! xx

[MikeHudson65]

This is great. Love it

[pattiwendy]

What a wonderful tribute to a wonderful lady. Your photos are beautiful too. Are they of your family? They remind me of my childhood. Thank you for sharing them.

[Joans20thCentury]

Thank you

very kind of you

my late mother Joan

many thanks

[pattiwendy]

what a beautiful tribute to your mother. She must have been a lovely lady. So apt that you chose Anne. My parents were quite good  friends with Anne Shelton. They met in Italy in the early 60's. She was such a wonderful person. I think she would have been delighted with how you have incorporated her song into your tribute.

[Joans20thCentury]

Thank you

you are very kind

[pdrinkwater1]

[deezal6696]

If You want to hear The German version that was a big hit in 1960 it is in YouTube. Go to search and put in Lolita Sailor (Your Home is the sea)

[beatlehop]

Wonderful!! dont make them like that anymore.

Five big stars for this.

[BrianEnright]

This is very good, but has anyone heard the version sung in German in the 60's? I think the singer was a woman named Lolita--that version was awesome.

[Georgewos]
