732456 2008-12-26 10:23:00 To be 100% honest no I havent heard of her either.
I am a Crystal Gayle, Olivia Neutron Bomb, Dolly Parton, Abba, Enya, Twiggy, Kate Bush, sort of guy.
Sad at 81 and looking at the potatoes from underneath I don't think so. Probably merciful might be the word.
And has his royal highness Cicero says I am just a feeble minded bus driver.
Off topic, but do you drive Ritchies route buses? Might have been driven around by you this year on my daily trips to uni.

Twiggy is a little different to Dolly I noticed. I also think you may mean Olivia Newton John. Abba seems to be four people.

It may also help if you are coherent. A bus driver can be intelligent but maybe not.

732461 2008-12-26 21:21:00 She was one of the sexiest sultriest singers ever to grace a stage. She did it all without being indecent, altho very suggestive. I cannot say the same for the younger "singers" of today. PJ:drool:crying Poppa John (284)

You got it PJ. She had a great voice!!

As for most of todays music...Yaaaachhhh

I also believe that in the run up to the new millenium, there was not a song good enough to be the "Song of the Nineties" Every other decade except that one!
