Anthony Newley compilation.

Strawberries ripe strawberries,shan't be round tomorrow the donkeys eaten all my Strawberries!Classic Newley.

Great voice long gone now.

And a great influence on David Bowie's singing style.

wow i didnt know that .Newley was a child actor turned singer  and writer.

Idle on Parade was a film about the post war army and conscription in which he sang the theme song and others i think with leslie Bricuss. i have the original EP 7inch of course.

Great days going to the record shop and listening to the latest 45 single in the booth then paying 6shillings eight pence 33p to you younger guys.LPs were out of reach on my paper delivery money.

Listen to early Bowie, up to 'Hunky Dory' at least and, once you know he was a fan of Newley, you start hearing it.

Some classic Aussie Rock - and Ian Moss with some classy guitar work.

A Joe Walsh solo track, rather than The Eagles, IIRC.

I'm a big fan of SAHB, this is one of the best cover versions of one of their classics I've heard.

Sat in my garden this evening listening to Stevie Wonder's classic album "Songs in the key of life". The fact that it was playing from the house two doors up means a lot of the street were also listening to it.

Well, at least they have a good taste in music!

You may remember Caroline Munro as the femme fatale whose helicopter gets blown up by Roger Moore's Lotus submarine in 'The Spy who loved me', or as Stella Star in the sci-fi cheese-fest 'Starcrash', or 'The Abominable Dr Phibes', or 'The Golden Voyage of Sinbad', or even, er, guesting on 'Midsomer Murders'.

But, when she was 17 years old, she recorded a forgotten single called 'Tar and Cement' and, for the B-side she recorded this song, featuring Eric Clapton, Steve Howe, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker.
