last one for today...myself and mate doreen wore the carpet out dancing to this one :D :D not sure but i think lulu was only 15 when she made this one..

 
I am afraid that the song 'Living Next Door to Alice' has bad memories for me. Eleven years ago I was in hospital, a lady named Alice was in the next room to me. She kept screaming for her son but when he came, she told him to clear off, she wanted nothing more to do with him. Unfortunately I overheard the doctors discussing her case and one said he had looked at the latest scans and there was no hope. This song came to my mind. She passed away that night.

Interesting fact about Long John Baldry.

His band (Bluesology) had a piano player called Reg Dwight, and a saxophone player called Elton Dean.

When "Reg Dwight" decided to go solo he took the "John" from Long John Baldrey and the "Elton" from Elton Dean and became Elton John !
