Hi Sheba

Wyatt Earp.

I knew his face but then I needed help.

Thank you Sheba.

Was once my favorite western on tv and not long back I google him and his story. Then I needed reminding who he really was.

Try this one who I am reading about at present.

I am having trouble with internet out in the back country, will be in town tomorrow, have a photo up then.

Looks like a young Billy Connelly !!

Thank You Ralph. Now who is this ?

Thanks Ken
I am not exactly a Doors fan, for I was young married man, in a fairly isolated small town, without TV or much radio, when they were in their prime

I have a rellie who has the middle name of Morris, that is what made me think of the Doors lead singer

Who was the lead singer below, of an Australian group, who more or less went the same way as Jim Morrison, in 1980

Your on the ball Tony over to you. Dance On was one of my favourites

Kathy Kirby (born Kathleen O'Rourke; 20 October 1938  19 May 2011) was an English singer, reportedly the highest-paid female singer of her generation. She is best known for her cover version of Doris Day's "Secret Love" and for representing the United Kingdom in the 1965 Eurovision Song Contest where she finished in second place. Her physical appearance often drew comparisons with Marilyn Monroe. Her popularity peaked in the 1960s, when she was one of the best-known and most-recognised personalities in British show business.

Career

Kirby's vocal talent became apparent early in life, and she took singing lessons with a view to becoming an opera singer.^[5] She became a professional singer after meeting bandleader Bert Ambrose at the Ilford Palais in 1956. She remained with Ambrose's band for three years and he remained her manager, mentor and lover until his death on stage in Leeds in 1971.^[6]

During the summer of 1957 Kirby performed at the Florida Park Restaurant in Madrid, and after returning to the UK not only performed with Ambrose's orchestra, but also with Nat Allen and his band.^[7] In 1959 Kirby joined vocalists Tony Mansell and Rikki Henderson in the Denny Boyce Band, and appeared regularly at the Lyceum Ballroom in London.^[7] In the summer of 1959 she made her solo cabaret debut at the Astor Club, and was subsequently signed to Pye Records in 1960 where she released two singles, "Love Can Be" and "Now You're Crying", which sold few copies but helped her get a six-month contract at Mayfair's Blue Angel nightclub.^[7] She adopted a "blonde bombshell" look and was compared to Marilyn Monroe.

In 1962 she signed a contract with Decca Records, for whom her first single was "(He's a) Big Man" in October 1962. The single sold well over a long period of time, but failed to reach the top of the British charts.^[7] It was however a hit in Vancouver's CFUN in January 1963.^[8] In the summer of 1963, after becoming a regular on the musical TV program Stars and Garters, she had her first hit, "Dance On!", which peaked at No. 11 in the UK chart and No. 1 in Australia.^[9] Its follow-up was an upbeat reworking of the Doris Day classic "Secret Love" which peaked at No. 4 on the British chart and stayed there for about five months.^[7] In the same year she won Top British Female Singer in the New Musical Express poll. Her album 16 Hits From Stars & Garters was released at the end of 1963, and cracked the top 20.^[7] The single "Let Me Go, Lover!", another upbeat reworking, this time of the classic by Joan Weber, reached No. 10 in early 1964. Kirby disliked the song, stating that: "Honestly, I was really surprised because I never had much hope for this record, and when I recorded it I thought it might never get anywhere at all."^[7]

"Let Me Go, Lover!" was followed by "You're The One", which peaked at No. 17 in May 1964. This success was followed by a record-breaking summer season show at the ABC Theatre in Blackpool.^[7]

Kirby became one of the biggest stars of the early to mid-1960s, appearing in the Royal Command Variety Performance and two television series for BBC TV.^[7][6] She represented the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1965^[10] and came second with the song "I Belong" which also became a hit. Author and historian John Kennedy O'Connor describes Kirby's "I Belong" as being far more representative of current musical tastes than other songs from the contest,^[11] but she was beaten by France Gall from Luxembourg, singing an even more contemporary song written by Serge Gainsbourg. An EP was issued featuring the six songs selected for the Eurovision Contest, featuring a different version of "I Belong", which peaked at No. 10 in 1965.^[7] An Italian version of I Belong was recorded by her under the title Tu Sei Con Me. She also sang the theme tune of the BBC television series Adam Adamant Lives!.

In September 1965 her single "The Way of Love" charted at No. 88 on the US Billboard Top 100. The song also charted in some of the regional charts, such as No. 35 in New York, No. 16 in Philadelphia,^[12] No. 39 in Detroit, No. 39 in Washington,^[13] and No. 38 in Los Angeles.^[14]

After the chart success of "I Belong", Kirby recorded more than a dozen singles between 1965 and 1967, but they all failed to chart.^[15] She continued to make television appearances, and her 1974 appearance on The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club TV variety show was for some time available to watch on YouTube but, as of October 2014, has been taken down due to a copyright claim by Network DVD (Sound & Media Ltd).^[16]

During the 1970s Kirby's singing career was eclipsed by a turbulent personal life, but she made occasional television appearances and performed a few live concerts on the "nostalgia circuit". On 31 December 1976, she performed her hit song "Secret Love" on BBC1's A Jubilee of Music, celebrating British pop music for Queen Elizabeth II's impending Silver Jubilee.

In December 1983 she gave one last concert in Blackpool, then retired from show business altogether.^[17]
