Yazoo - Don't Go (1982) The second single culled from their classic debut album, Upstairs at Eric's, it was written by Vince Clarke & captured a captivating vocal by Alison Moyet. Hit the UK top 3 Singles Chart & topped the US Dance hit. NME named it the "Single of the Week".

Bottom (BBC Sitcom 1991-95) Who watched & enjoyed this? I loved it. Created & written by the late, great & sorely-missed Rik Mayall & Adrian Edmondson which spanned 18 episodes over a 3 series run.

Danielle Dax - Cat House (1988) Banger! Still in touch with this 80s underground legend; a real sweetheart! Dax predominantly appealed to the goth scene & garnered critical acclaim but (sadly) never commercially successful. 'Cat House' was a top 3 hit on the UK Indie Chart.

The Vicar of Dibley Who likes this all-time classic sitcom? One of my very favourites with the likes of Only Fools and Horses and Fawlty Towers. Gentle, heart-warming show with some sharp one-liners.

The Supremes - Stop! In the Name of Love (965) This was the song that made me "besotted" by Diana Ross when I was 4 circa 1983! Thought she was a child at first with her innocent, vulnerable voice. This became their fourth consecutive #1 hit and a landmark in pop & soul music.

Auf Wiedersehen Pet (ITV 1983-86/BBC 2002-04) Who's a fan of this? Now THIS is another one of my all-time favourite comedy-dramas. The first series in Germany where they all live in a hut is the one I enjoy the most plus the second series - can watch them over and over again.β€οΈ

Four Tops - Standing in the Shadows of Love (1967) This track alongside 'Reach Out I'll Be There' and 'Bernadette' are my favourite trio of Four Tops classics. NOBODy could sing like Levi Stubbs who undoubtedly possessed one of the best voices in pop & soul music history.

Dean Parrish - I'm On My Way (1967) Another of my all-time favourite Northern Soul classics! Recorded and first released in the US on the Laurie label (failed to chart), the song later became hugely popular on the UK's northern soul circuit & became a British top 40 seller.
