Hi Lesley - all correct, thanks for resurrecting this one!
Limit's off now so feel free to post any others that you know.

Can only wring one more out of my brain at the mo', maddog...
#19. Love Letters - (take your pick from Dick Haymes, Elvis Presley, Alison Moyet) but my favourite is by Ketty Lester...
Why? Because her version was recorded in a makeshift recording studio - so makeshift that her vocals were performed in the toilet! (Honest!)
(Hope she flushed afterwards...!)
