Anybody see the recent BBC prog The girl before? The perp - actor Ben Hardy - constantly reminded me of Billy Fury. Anyone agree?
Just found this on YouTube and wondered whether anyone else has an old favourite that makes them smile

For You by Judie Tzuke
https://youtu.be/wds903B96V8
I saw her live in an old church at Teddington a few years ago - Just her, her two daughters on backing vocals and a guitarist.
After the show she came out and chatted to the few audience members who had stayed behind to meet her, signed autographs and posed for photos.
Her voice is still amazing but has changed slightly over the years.
In recent years she sang lead vocals on Morcheeba - Enjoy the Ride which is closer to how she sounds nowadays.

Hi Charlie please introduce yourself and tell us a little about your musical preferences
Shakin' Stevens hada big hit with a song he wrote called Oh Julie.
In1958 the Crescendos (a US doo wop group) recorded this song entitled Oh Julie. It always reminds me of the Shakin' Stevens song - albeit a slower tempo. Is it my imagination or do you think that Shaky may have been inspired a bit by it?

BBC Radio 3's Composer of the Week
This week's is jazz composer Carla Bley – I've been listening to today's prog with much enjoyment and will catch up on the earlier ones, all available on the BBC site. Anyone else?
I think I've recommended this series elsewhere on Scooploop - music of all genres that has really meant something in people's lives. Some of their stories about how and why are very moving.

I found this version of True Colours, recorded in March 2020 during lockdown when the choir couldn't be in physical proximity to each other, very moving. So are some of the comments below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqWQCWc_zCc

Welcome Anastasya and Danni

Anyone remember Clifford T Ward who had a hit in 1973 with Gaye. His singing career probably suffered from his reluctance to do shows on tour. He contracted MS in the 1980s and died of pneumonia in 2001 at the age of 57.
I was reminded of him recently when I heard this lovely song which he wrote and which was tucked away on the B Side of Gaye.

Hope that's OK!

I have to admit I hadn’t even heard of LP even though she has been around for years and written for an impressive list of singers

Favourite soundtrack albums (Edited)
Just wondering if anyone has a favourite non-musical movie soundtrack album? For me, there's nothing to touch Burt Bacharach's soundtrack album from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The whole album is on Youtube, one track following another.
