THE ROYAL VARIETY PERFORMANCE 1967 11.60m

 

The most watched programme of the 60s. It featured Sandie Shaw, Mirielle Mathieu, Tom Jones & Harry Secombe & Rolf Harris, to name but 5

 

Rolf Harris did the old favourite & his latest record:

 

And Mirelle Mathieu sang a couple of songs including her original of "The Last Waltz" (La Derniere Valse):

 

And that's that. May dothe 70s & 80s at some point.

fascinating results, pity the Beatles RVP didnt top, though Roy orbison is a good runners-up. Whats frightening is how many I remember considering how young I was - Martha's death in Corrie, frinstance, had a real impact on me as a 6 year old...

 

thanks for running it!

cheers B-)
