Aww bliddy hell garage

Seasons in the sun was one of my fave little girl songs, along witha bit of Mahalia Jackson, Frank Sinatra and ooooh what was that Bobby Goldsboro one...and my big sis playing the Beatles!

I couldn't find it either, We hired a singer to sing it at my wedding 31 years ago. Here is the Charlotte Church version.

Oooo Thingy, well done, that's it

Think she'd probably practiced a bit more by the time I heard it LOL! As you can hear, it's a 'different' version of Ave Maria. Went to see her with my niece not long after my mum died, this was the first thing she sang and I was

then next she sang woman's heart in gaelic, neice was reminded of her times @ mine as a little girl and she was off

What a pair!

I'm glad someone remembered Honey by Bobby Goldsboro as it's heartwrenching if a little twee. Ones that get the hairs on my neck standing out are;
Sometimes when we touch by Dan Hill
Hail, Queen of Heaven (Hymn)
Something Inside by Labi Siffre
I knew I loved you before I met you by Savage Garden
