Re: BOBBY's GIRL
Indeed they are Jan.My mother was called Caroline but everybody called her Janice. Why? Well, I asked her one day and she said "well somebody mistook my name one day at the Salvation Army when I was 17 and it stuck".
I was even more confused after I heard that... The normal protocol is to correct them, not assume the name. Hmm!!
had it as my ring tone for a long time until I changed my phone

STOP PRESSDEAR SUSAN is 74 this year and is still in demand for 1960s tours, most recently sharing billing with Barry Ryan and Dave Berry. Part of her set incorporates a tribute to some of the other girl singers of the 1960s – Helen Shapiro, Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark, Kathy Kirby*and Cilla Black*– and she sings a song most associated with each particular star.
