Its just come on (and I think it'll be going off soon! Too much for me.)

It just reminded me of Terry Wogan calling her Burly Chassis.. smile

Mind you, she can sing!

Yes, that was how it was portrayed on the programme I watched.
The idea of being the pretty girl singer didn't sit well with her, because she loved the drums.

I’ve seen some nice TV performances by John Denver.

I love watching performances by Glen Campbell, especially when singing songs by Jimmy Webb such as Witicha Linesman, Galveston, and MacArthur Park.

Oh! I love Glen Campbell's voice, too. smile
My sister was a fan, I think, so I can remember his voice from my childhood.
