Frankie goes to Hollywood
Jennifer Rush
Huey Lewis & the News!

FannyCornforth Fri 24-Feb-23 05:02:13

It’s half right!

Siope Fri 24-Feb-23 04:29:32

Whoops! Can’t even blame it on actually dropping off.

Can’t remember the other two. I keep wanting to say Jennifer Warnes, but I know that’s wrong.

Are you okay Siope? You seem to have ‘dropped off’ unexpectedly

Siope Fri 24-Feb-23 03:42:50

1. Power of Love; Frankie Goes to Hollywood; can’t remember the

I’ll do three for you smile

1. In late 1984 / early 1985 a song with the same title was a hit for three different artists.
What was its name, and who were the artists?

2. In 2003, ‘Toxic’ was a huge Grammy winning dance hit for Britney Spears.
Which famous UK based TV personality inspired the song?
(This is a top bit of trivia)

3. (This is something I only learnt last week)
Which veteran British film star and all round legend (imho) co-wrote ‘Georgy Girl’?

So do we get another question ?

LadyHonoriaDedlock Fri 24-Feb-23 02:11:20

And Paul Anka was only 16 in 1957, callistemon21! No, even colder than Tommy Steele, who is colder than Pet Clark.

Callistemon21 Thu 23-Feb-23 22:47:46

I'm way out, I was going to say Paul Anka with Diana (1957).
It's the first record I bought.

Not trying to tempt fate here but…

Which is the earliest UK number one hit by an artist who is still alive?

And a supplementary: Who is the oldest person still alive to have had a UK number one hit?

UK charts began in November 1952 for reference.
