Opportunity Knocks

[LiverpoolLou]

Hello all you music boffins, hope you can help me with this. In the early 70's I remember watching the programme Opportunity Knocks, there was a singer on there called, I think, "Anita Vittoni", and she sang a song called "Only You", I'm almost sure it got into the charts at the time. Can you help me with this, because nobody else remembers her. Thanks.

Thanks Alan2, I'll have to have another think about this song, maybe it was called something else. But your help was much appreciated.

Hi there,

Jeff Collins (listed in Alan2's answer below) won opportunity knocks singing Only You. I know this, because he is my father in law! He went on to have 1 week with the song at number 40 in 1972. An Italian fan has posted a recording on YouTube.
