Iris Williams - We Don't Make Each Other Laugh Anymore

This sad, evocative song, performed beautifully by Welsh contralto Iris Williams, is from a little-known musical called 'Stan and Babe', and with a title like that it seems possible that it was about Laurel and Hardy (Laurel was of course Stan, and Hardy's nickname was Babe). The song appeared as the B-side to Iris's late-1970s chart single 'He Was Beautiful (Cavatina)', from the film 'The Deer Hunter'.

@mrsealist Thanks very much for your comment. Yes, me too, this is my all-time favourite Iris Williams song, beautifully written and performed. I have lots of her LPs and singles, but only one CD and sadly this song isn't on it, which is very surprising. I feel that she ought to have released it as a single in its own right, rather than just as the B side to her Cavatina, as I feel sure that it would have done very well and perhaps even become a major, famous song.

I listen to my favourite music only on You Tube these days. I do have this song on 45 rps and on an LP, but don't play them.

I thank all the people who post these on here!
