Makes Bowie's God Only Knows sound underplayed. But I do have a soft spot for Newley's next number one, and his collaboration with Delia Derbyshire which - sadly- hasn't troubled a catalogue number, let alone a pop chart.

BUT it is a moving song, that is a pleasure to sing and play for the musicians. Oh yeah - the song “WHY?” is REALLY soppy (sappy for you Americans.)
