Rosie had a heart attack a few years ago. Since then, she has done wonderful work to help educate the public, especially women, about heart health. As a three-heart-attack survivor myself, my respect for her knows no bounds.
This afternoon, she was interviewed on MSNBC about tonight's protest. She is committed to equality for all, smart, articulate and funny....all the things Trump is not. Doesn't matter if he's "home". He wi
I have spent many happy hours in Paris, and plan to visit again soon. But, there has been an increase of anti-GLBTQ sentiment in France that is very discouraging.
In January, I'm taking the train up to Los Angeles to see her perform at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Very excited. I'm confident she will stay busy beyond Dolly.

Don't underestimate her name recognition beyond the Broadway Zip Code. She is extremely popular throughout the country, and has remained so for more than half a century. I am sure that the touring production of "Dolly" will succeed on her reputation alone."

Last night I watched the recent film "Goodbye Christopher Robin". It is the story behind the writing of the "Winnie the Pooh" books by A. E. Milne. This recording was featured, and immediately I recognized the singer to be Al Bowlly. I'm happy to know that Mr. Bowlly is still remembered all these many years after his passing.
Here is ten years of a forum dating back to 2006 asking the same question. Perhaps you participated? The general consensus seems to be: dunno. One suggestion is that Michael Caine was the singer.

Glad to know I'm not the only one familiar with Al Bowlly. I have much of his music on my MP3 player and listen to him often when I'm out exercising. If he isn't the singer in question, then I don't know who else it might be. Sadly, Mr. Bowlly was killed in the 1941 London Blitz.

I (and many more) would kill to have any of the "careers" that Betty has in her repertoire. I have never seen her give a bad performance. Be it stage, tv or screen, Oz, Getting On (on HBO...she is brilliant), Tender Mercies, Reme
