    I'm ashamed to admit that only one I know who it is for sure is Lulu, in the white dress with the band in her hair. Other than that, I'm at a loss! Is the one in the pants suit cross legged, Cilla Black?

    I'm going to try to listen in tonight after missing many weeks of great shows!

    There definitely must be something in the drinking water over in there U.K. judging by the huge amount of very soulful songbirds it has produced over the decades, and continues to in full force today. Definitely will be tuning i for a heapin' helping of female Brit gal soul this evening, John!

    John, that is fantastic about you approaching 5 million hits on Youtube! Very well deserved acclaim, my friend. Speaking of Petula Clark, I was intrigued by the review of her last CD recorded at 80 years of age, and her version of "Crazy," proves she still has the vocal pipes!

    John, that was a wonderful stereo version of Marianne Faithful's "As Tears Go By." I saw her live in Montreal in the early 80's. She and her band had been held up arriving from a Toronto show, and she walked on stage wearing a raincoat and her purse. As she got into her set, her raincoat was shucked off and here blouse opened, and she had what we now would term a "wardrobe malfunction!" Not bad for middle aged babe. Her visage attests to the long and winding road of her life. A few years back on a CBC interview she reflected on her first hit written by Mick Jaguar and how her subsequent revisit to that song from a much more seasoned frame of mind gave the lyrics new meaning. indeed!

    John, thanks for playing that Petula Clark cut from her most recent CD. Still fresh and as hip as tomorrow, she truly is proof that age is just a number.

    Really liked the music from this era while growing up. Appreciate it more though now than ever and collected a lot of the British Invasion material on CDs in recent years. Music from the 1960s and 1970s can't be beat in my book.

    A lot of what I hear today leaves me uninterested and wondering what happened to GOOD music!

    John, I thought I knew the A, B, C's of Brit Gal Soul, but you are definitely venturing in the X, Y, Z's of it tonight! Listening to the depth of the soul of these women, it struck me that there should be an anthology featuring all of the music you shared with us this evening. The lads at Universal Music who may have access to the musical output of these fabulous women should consider hiring you to compile such a box set and writing the booklet notes.

    I love "Its For You." Cilla has dismissed it as inferior at times because it only peaked at number seven snapping her run at the top of the charts with Anyone Who Had A Heart and You're My World but it's a great tune regardless of chart peak.
