Cleo Laine indulges in Mozart's Turkish Delight

Dame Cleo Laine and Sir John Dankworth indulge in Mozart's Turkish Delight

Rondo Alla Turka - 1978

"Many years ago, centuries ago, long before the Beatles ever had a single fan,
There was once a guy called Mozart and he was a keyboard man."

Even Jackie Wilson's great talent couldn't lift him higher and higher

Jackie Wilson was a truly great singer and entertainer who was never able to scale the heights that his talent truly deserved. I blame management. Where was Berry Gordy when Jackie needed him? Chasing  a Dream Girl, I suppose. 

To Be Loved

Higher and Higher

Sometimes we live. Sometimes we die. Sometimes we cry.

"Sometimes we live. Sometimes we die. Sometimes we cry." 

Sometimes we know, sometimes we don't
Sometimes we give, sometimes we won't
Sometimes we're strong, sometimes we're wrong
Sometimes we cry
Sometimes it's bad when the going gets tough
When we look in the mirror and we want to give up
Sometimes we don't even think we'll try
Sometimes we cry
Well we're gonna have to sit down and think it right through
If we're only human what more can we do
The only thing to do is eat humble pie
Sometimes we cry
'Fore they put me in a jacket, and they take me away
I'm not gonna fake it like Johnnie Ray
Sometimes we live, sometimes we die
Sometimes we cry
Sometimes we can't see anything straight
Sometimes everybody is on the make
Sometimes it's lonely on the lost highway
Sometimes we cry, sometimes we cry
Gonna put me in a jacket, and take me away
I'm not gonna fake it like Johnnie Ray
Sometimes we live, sometimes we die
Sometimes we cry, sometimes we cry
Sometimes we live, sometimes we die

Sometimes we cry, sometimes we cry

Winstone tastes good like Flintstones' cigarettes should

Fred and Barney, sneak a smoke before their dames, Wilma and Betty, throw the wet mop and bucket at 'em. (A Don Draper Production).
