I thought this was a hit. Love this

[hawkmoon03111951]

Unfortunately for her it failed to make it. Like you, I think it's a great song. Golden Lights, the follow up to 'Terry', was her only other hit record.

Twinkle had so much passion in her delivery. It's such a shame she didn't get as big as she should have.

[Sarahfreckle]

What a lovely singer! Should be a household name instead of an obscure footnote in pop history.

[TheLegendaryTim]

kind of addictive. It's hard to say whether we would have liked her in America or not. She could've promoted herself more by singing for the troops then in Vietnam, or for the troops in general.

People also tend to overlook the fact that she wrote her own material also, a fantastic singer/songwriter.

Twinkle (Lynne Ripley) is one of the most underrated female singers ever. I remember seeing her at Wembley at the NME poll winners show and she was absolutely terrific but when you ask people about her the only song they ever remember is 'Terry'. Shame she has done a lot of fantastic songs, 'So Sad', 'Golden Lights' etc.

this was a hit, in all of our hearts..

@TheAnn2shoes She is still going, I met her a few months ago, nice lady, still looks a 60s babe!!

Skeet Davies old country song but this is quiet and nice. Lite Sara Varga.

[misterlove3301]

Every song on her CD was a classic. One of the most under-rated figures of Brit girl-pop. She delivered the goods BIG TIME, but the british invasion killed girl pop across the globe. At least her works live on. I love you Twinkle, & thanks for the hours of joy your work has brought me. Honestly... fond regards, Boyd

Does anybody know what happened to Twinkle? She seems to have just disappeared.

[WilliamLongfellow]

Twinkle's really good. She wrote and sang such good songs at such a young age--I'm jealous :p

[TheWhitehall]

A gentle rendition of this standard number. Twinkle`s look/image was pure 1960`s.

I did, however, see her at a "Rock "N" Roll" show at Battersea Town Hall about 10 years ago.
