So many people have written to me asking if they can buy a DVD of the concert this clip comes from. Well, good news, it will be available from Sept. 2008...check out the clip link for more information.
Mary lives next door to me here in London. She's 77 now.
She recently found lots old footage from her childhood & I persuaded her to transfer it to DVD. I edited a few clips and put them to music.
This was the King's Road in Chelsea, London, in April 1969.
The song is sung by Barry Ryan and is available on the wonderful CD of his two 1969 albums, entitled 'Singing The Songs Of Paul Ryan 1968-69' http://www.amazon.co m/Singing-Songs-Paul -Ryan-1968-69/dp/B00 09K9PBG
Brandy...this was the original song that Barry Manilow took and renamed Mandy.
Written by and sung here by Scott English about his dog, Brandy.
It was a Top 20 song in England in
1971.
My next door neighbour Mary found hours of old footage from her childhood (she's 77 now).
I persuaded her to transfer it to DVD.
Here's a clip of Mary & her brother visiting the penguins in Regent's Park, London, in 1931.
Pretty adorable!
(I've downloaded some more footage. Please see my videos).
