I knew she had written the theme tune for Neighbours but didn't realise all the other stuff she had written with Tony Hatch.

Very sad. I wonder how much money in royalties the Neighbours theme tune earned for her and Tony Hatch considering it has just celebrated it's 30th anniversary.
No doubt Keith Skues will be doing a tribute to her on tonights prog, he normally do these when other singer/ songwriters fall of the twig.
BBC local radio .
^^^ does, sorry for typo.

it is an unfortunate fact that the more interesting details of famous persons lives are only uncovered after they pass away - - R I P jackie trent

I was thinking that myself MargoTester. Don't know if royalties are paid every time the music is played, but Neighbours is on about 3 times a day and the theme tune is played at the beginning and end, for 30 years! Just wish people from my era would stop dying as I'm getting nervous :-(. x
RIP Jackie.

Very good excelsior, nothing fishy about me though, well I hope not! Can't think of one for you though. Have you put the ones you've thought of on? x

not yet - looks like i may have to choose one
RIP Jackie.
Sad news.
She was my uncle's secretary a long time ago, When she worke in Stoke on Trent, hence the name
RIP Jackie.
I'm sure her ex husband Tony Hatch wrote the theme to Crossroads.
Very sad - a famous daughter of our city - her real name was Yvonne Burgess, and she was my mum's god-daughter. My mum is still going at ninety-two, she will be sad to hear this news.
I remember her big single in the 60's very well ::::
