Twinkle - remember her?

'Please wait at the gates of heaven for me...'

Yes, it was a bit rubbish.

Although she was only 16 at the time...

The brother of one of my SiLs has a thriving business customising scooters for the older person with more money than sense. He wins prizes and all sorts.

My DS's friend's mum , appliqued 'MODS' on the back of his parka (this was in the late 70's/early 80's when there was a wee bit of a Mod revival). Unfortunately, she had the jacket the wrong way round when she sewed on the letters and from then on he was known as SPOW, and still is!

Where did the P come from?

I think she must have made a small 'd', Ana, therefore: MOdS turned upside down?

I went to the launch party of one of her records (can't remember which) it was the 60s. My sister was a secretary to a record producer at Decca records. She was dating a singer from the Bachelors at the time.

I remember a heat of the Miss England (I think) competition when I was playing at the Lyceum in London... two of the judges were people I'd never heard of - Donovan, who went on to have a career, and this lady, Twinkle, who was, I think, a one-hit wonder. I don't think the name helped... OK for comedy (think Dinnerladies) but not much else.

Just watched the YouTube clip and was transported back! "Salad days when I was green in judgement".
I saw Twinkle once in Kingston High street. Even my friends were not impressed by that claim to fame! RIP Twinkle.

Gosh, that takes me back! If I recall she was actually rather posh. but what on earth is she wearing?!

I bought that record because I had a boyfriend called Terry. I also liked Leader of the Pack and Tell Laura I Love Her!
