Barbara Windsor has been an idol of mine since childhood. I loved her in the Carry On films & now in EastEnders as Peggy Butcher, but this album is probably the worst one in my collection. I know she is trained as a singer & has a history in theatre work & musicals, it is not her talent that is so much in question, but this album is just awful - sentimental rubbish. Some of the songs are wonderful (As Long As He Needs Me, What The World Needs Now Is Love), but her version of them just doesn't do justice to the songs. What is worse are the duets, when she sings with Joe Longthorne & fellow EastEnders stars, Mike Reid & Steve McFadden, who should definitely stick to acting !! The only good part about this album is the lovely photographs on the cover & inside, but only buy it if you are a huge fan with no musical taste !
