Terry Parsons

Tonight I watched the One Show for the first time in yonks* ......

Alexander Armstrong was on, and he was banging on about how he originally started his entertaining career with the intention of becoming a singer but ended up a comedi ..... ache erm .... cough .... a comedian .....

Anyway he was plugging his first singing album ....... A year of songs .....

At the end of the show, he sung the first track from the album ......

No..... No...... No .....[and for effect]...... No fucking nooooooooooooooo ......

He slaughtered what can only be classed as one of music's great master pieces ...... only my Elvis was ever capable of making a cover version better than the original, but tonight ..... seriously ....

The only person who ever sung this song to perfection 
was non other than
Terry Parsons
Robbed of this life at the stupidly young age of 54 .....
Oh what a voice of velvet taken too soon
On days like .........


A year of songs by Matt Munro
would beat a life time of songs by bloody pointless Zander !
£10.99 on Amazon ......
shittin ada .... if on days like these is anything to go by
what a joke .....


[post script - * it is officially recorded that a yonk is a period of 5 years]
