It's been a bad couple of weeks for 'Easy Listening'............

Crikey.

First, a couple of weeks ago, James Last........

Today, Val Doonican.........

As trouble invariably comes in threes, if I was Roger Whittaker, I'd worry..........

I don't suppose I really liked their music, but it is as redolent of the 1970's in all it's Bri-nylon glory as Watneys Red Barrel, power cuts, industrial disputes, entirely rubbish fashion, Cossack Hairspray  and Hai Karate aftershave.

Boy oh boy, did the Seventies suck...........

But good old Val rocked!

Backwards and forwards.

In a rocking chair.

Slowly.........

:-)

R.I.P. Val.

A nation mourns.

And with some cause, as it remembers it's childhood, lost and gone these many years.......

    1. Ah! The delights of the 'Quartic' steering wheel and 'Limeflower' green metallic paint twinned with orange and brown interiors.

      Gorgeous!

      And we did have Kit Hain of Marshall Hain.......

      Some of us rated her very highly indeed, even if we were only fourteen........
