RIP. I can't ever remember seeing her standing up.

Same with MF for me...

Even after I read the article on the BBC I've no idea who she was.

Where are we? Rockbottom
Tragedies? We got 'em

Can't actually remember the rest of the words but that was one of the first tunes I learned to sing along to whilst strumming away on my cheap Woolies acoustic guitar when I was a mere slip of a gal.

Lyndsey was one half of the duo (can't remember the name of the act nor the other half of the duo) that performed that song as the United Kingdom's Eurovision entry back in, crikey - must have been around 1978. Don't think we won that year but it was a cracking little number.

Think I may go upstairs and have a little strum right now as it happens.

Not to be confused with Stephanie De Sykes

I'd never heard of either of them, although come to think of it the name Lynsey de Paul rang a faint bell

Wasn't that Quasimodo?

That's a euphemism, isn't it?

You're getting confused with Peters & Lee
