(Ablett: Guess you who are living in the isles could be fed ub with the prima donna?)
Supposin you´re not takin a piss here:
She is the lady that sang "Goldfinger" in 1964,
"Diamonds Are Forever" in 1971 (John Barry tunes, that were lede themes
at the James Bond-movies); as well as Love Story ("Where Do I Begin... ").
I see Diamonds was release on my 8th birtday in the US (Dec 17, 1971), and on my father´s mothers birthday (Dec 30) in the UK.
She covered everything thinkable; Theodorakis, Beatles, Tamla Motowns tunes - you name it. An incredible productivity in the 60´s gives you an understanding that she also made a great load of crap. But check out the tracks I mention.
Then: Who´s James Bond... ?
