Always loved her singing this song. When she went on stage she always wore fantastic dresses.

I remember her fondly. God bless her.

[sleepytimegalz]

[bbcisrubbish]

The singer with a laugh in her voice. How appropriate.

I wish there were a lot more of her singing on youtube.

@GoldenOldiesOn45RPM - I appreciate yours as well in letting me expalin my mission on your videos. I hope to make it easier for more folks to stumble across great music like Alma Cogan's.

Each 'year' playlist details which artists (over 300!) from that year have a separate playlist. I'm cross-indexed like an old library card catalogue!

I've even tagged them all so, for instance, chkjns 1954 in the searchbar above pulls up my 1954 list with this song. Such a website ! ! !
