A-Z Of Alma, The - Alma Cogan

Advantages: More than I can count
Disadvantages: Not even one

...’s favourite songs to sing from the album. Shake A Hand Sung by Little Richard, Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan. This sounds more like little Richard than anything else. Party From Elvis Presley’s film “Loving You”. I think Alma Cogan had a hit with this too? (For those who remember her) This is a ROCKER to end the album. If you like this album of Paul’s look at: Paul McCartney: CHOBA B CCCP (The Russian album) Beatles For Sale John Lennon Rock n’ roll Elvis No 1s I am sure it can be found in most music stores.

...GIVING TRAGEDY A VOICE Has there ever been a more harrowing and soul tearing piece of music than Gustav Mahler's Sixth Symphony?
