CAM, I haven't got a clue on number 4. So I even looked it up and was still none the wiser.

19. Gerry Dorsey...err I mean Englebert Humperdink - There goes my everything.

As a footnote, my Mum had been out to the Eeat Herringthorpre Social club on Laudsdale Road. Back in those days artistes freely gave away and openly signed their photographs which were always in black and white. mum brought hers home saying how fabulous this singer had been. I recall it like it was yesterda and yes he ahd signed it To Dot love Gerry Dorsey.

Fast forward a month and boom! The artist we knew as Gerry Dorsey was now Englebert and the rest as they say is history.

Correct Brin. I think we saw Englebert in Great Yarmouth in the early 70s. Might even have one of those B&W photos somewhere

Looks like it was a really good quiz, CAM - the year you chose was possibly the most remembered by a lot of our MM audience. Sadly, I slept through most of it but did enjoy joining in for a bit in the middle.

Thanks as always
