I have a soft nostalgic spot for pop music of the 60s and early 70s. I have recently bought compilation CDs for peanuts.

Shirley B did great singing 'The Rhythm Divine' for Yello.. I'll pretend not to know much else she's done - cough...
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way...The time has gone, The song is over, Thought I'd something more to say...

Stu, give ''The Performance'' a try, very polished and bondesque in places, one of my fave disc of SB. :oops:

She did 3 Bond themes so she is alright by me. Also has done some trendy dance stuff with Yello and Propeller Heads plus that Pink cover 'Let's Get That Party Started'.

Goldfinger is one of the all time greats and not just because its a bond theme.
She has a fabulous voice. Dionne warwick doing walk on by is one of my all time favourites and so is dusty son of a preacher man.
