Before my time really but remember this from TOTP in mid 70s

For me its before the time when I listened to music for hours a day and Radio Luxembourg throughout the night and knew every song and every artist.

Love that one Bobbin.

Bobbi, perhaps he couldn't get a word to rhyme with Wear :-)

Mamy Blue was written by Hubert Giraud.

I like the depth of Roger's voice.

[Patsy33]

Yes Mamya, something special about his voice. This is one of my favourites..

I loved his songs. So easy to relate to.
