conic 1960s pop star Kathy Kirby has died aged 72 after a short illness, it was announced yesterday.

She was best known for her cover version of Secret Love in 1963, but during her career had two top-ten hits and three other singles in the top 40.

Nicknamed the ‘Golden Girl of Pop’, in 1963 she won Top British Female Singer in a New Musical Express poll and cemented her place as one of the biggest stars of the mid-1960s by appearing in the Royal Variety Performance and three television series.

One of the few to have a pop hit with a vocal version of a previous instrumental hit -what was it?

Dance On?



OK, I cheated, although I do remember the instrumental. Was it by the Shadows?

Correct! And, it seems Petula Clark had hits with it in French and Italian...

We can remember her as kids appearing at the 'Star and Garter' (pub/show) - think it used to be on a Saturday night - she always had really shiney lips - probably one of the first to appear with lip gloss or was it vaseline?
