No strobe lights, no mirrors, no awkward background dancers and no smoke machines just pure sophisticated talent. A rare commodity these days.

Kathy was only about 24 here but, with her mature technique and the way they dressed her, looked older. She had great pitch, volume, range, looks, confidence, the whole package really, and enjoyed much success in the UK and even in the US. Though her complicated private life and various health issues blighted her later years, I thank _davexnet_ for reminding us just how good she was.

Her success in the U.S . was minor. There were years...the British Musical Invasion when the American public turned their back on their homegrown vocalists... But KK was not an American favourite. Cher had a big hit with a Kathy Kirby U.K. hit.

There's always something about Kathy that just makes me love her to bits.

Fabulous! I believe she was classically trained and it shows in her vocal range. We miss you Kathy, I hope you are still singing in heaven.

She was training to become an opera singer! You are correct!

Kathy Kirby was one of the best pop singers this country ever produced,the only other girl singer that came anywhere near her in looks and talent was Dusty.

I'd say Shirley Bassey. In that they were the both ex big band singers. Dusty was more contemporary and more influenced by soul and r&b. She might have done this song but she would have done it slightly differently and phrased it differently. Just as good but different.

If you have any more Kathy, please post! There are so few Kathy Kirby videos available.

Odd how the British accent doesn't comes out when they sing, depending, I suppose on the region. With the Irish and Scots, it's another matter. Very enjoyable video.

Correct "comes out" to read [come out]. I cannot correct this error because I no longer have the device I used to post this comment. (I have not listened to this video since I watched it over 5 years ago. As I was reading this comment I thought: "This is the kind of remark that I would make," and lo and behold, as I looked to see who authored it, i saw it was I who wrote it!😮😊)

Better looking than Marilyn Monroe in my opinion. An incredible singer too, one of the best!

The overbearing influence of Ambose meant she sang older tunes and he never let her join the 'pop culture'. Her biggest 'hits' were covers of songs from at least 10 years back. Consequently she never developed a 'pop' style of singing.

Her Wiki page will shock most of you...When she was a teen she dated a 60-year-old married man and admitted to having an affair with Bruce Forsyth at the same time....and that's just for starters..

Marilyn Monroe, she aint. Even for 1964 she looked old-fashioned. Still she's' very attractive even if she does look about 35. Meow!!

LOL! She's English - the look is more understated.
