Oh Jim Dale??? Carry on actor!🥰

Yes! Yes it was. He’s wonderful isn’t he?
I remember that the much missed Pheonix mentioned that her mother went out with him back in the day.

And yes, The Power of Love by Frankie is brilliant.
I love all of Trevor Horn’s productions

The song Georgy Girl was written by Tom Springfield.

As for the original supplementary, Tony Bennett is currently 96 but there's somebody still alive who is two years older than Tony.

Yes, and Jim Dale wrote the lyrics.

Sorry, LadyH, I don’t understand your second comment - do you mean someone who had a number one hit?
So the answer isn’t Tony Bennett?

I understand nothing ??

Good morning MrsKen👋

I took it to mean that Tony Bennett had the earlier number 1 (1955 I believe ) but there is a person who had a later number 1 but who is older than TB.

Oh okay, thanks Juno
I wonder who it could be

I guessed Dick Van Dyke with the Mary Poppins soundtrack but not confident 😕.

Ah, good call. DVD is currently 97

I had no idea that Cliff and Tom are so close in age. Thanks FC.
I'm trying to think of any singers/actors who are older....
than DVD, that is.

Tom's voice is still very strong, unlike some older singers who should really give up.

Could it be Jane Morgan who had a UK number 1 in 1957 with ‘The Days the Rain Came’?
She was born in 1924 and is 99

She will be 99 in May.
Here she is receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and in her heyday

Wow. That's amazing. I remember the song rather than the singer. I don't think that can be beaten. 😊

Goodness, it must be her!

Yes, I remember the song.

Thank you
I pride myself on my general knowledge, but I had not heard of either Jane or the song itself.
I googled ‘singers born in 1924’ and went from there

Well done Fanny that must be the right answer 👏👏.

FannyCornforth well done! It is indeed Jane Morgan. I thought that was a tricky one!

The song was originally written by Gilbert Becaud. Jane Morgan sang it in French on the B-side.

I had to look twice at this photo FannyCornforth, at first glance she had Spock ears - was it just me?

Casdon,
Spock or Elf ears! Lol but it's her hair!

Wow! Yes, elf ears! 🧝‍♀️
