Is this the occasion where you touched his coat as he was coming out of the life Laura :P

 

 

You know I think he had no idea what he was talking about at that press conference :lol:

Yes it was Tess :lol:

 

He was going up the escalator and I deliberately didn't more back enough so he had to "push" past me to go up.

 

The raincoat squeaked as he brushed past me and he said "sorry darling". :wub:

 

and my impression of him close up was that he was very tall and very big ^_^ and totally gorgeous

Good thinking on your part Laura, did he smell nice as he passed or were you too intoxicated with awe to notice :lol:

No couldn't smell him Tess :lol:

I love the Bodies time, for me the times he looked best. And I like Make me pure.

I had seen an old clip from the 70ties on an oldie broadcaster and it as Katie Kissoon with her brother. I did not know that she had a career aside of being a backing singer. I wonder what she and Claire Anad Stephen are doing these days.

I always thought Claire was very talented and good looking

Yes, and Ketie sang in We Are Family song, one of the Rob's faves

I read something about Katie recently in relation to Eric Clapton , she is a fabulous singer , her & Robbie singing Revolution is epic , one of my favourite duets & some say Robbie can't sing :rolleyes:

 

Not sure about Stephen & Claire, I assume he is still doing his folk music , love the work he did with Robbie, Intensive Care is proof of that body of work , it's such a good album . I would not mind seeing them do something together again

 

Stephen ( link below ) talks briefly about his time with Rob during IC .

Revolution is an amazing song.

 

I'm old enough to remember Mac and Katie Kissoon when they had several hits in the early 1970s.

 

Think this was 1973/1974

Christmas Number 1 Flashback: Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman - Somethin' Stupid

 

It's 20 years since Robbie scored his only solo(ish) Christmas Number 1

 

20 years ago, Robbie Williams scored his fifth Number 1, and his first to spend Christmas at the position, with a smoochsome version of Somethin’ Stupid.

 

It was the first track off Robbie’s fourth album Swing When You’re Winning, the ‘big band’ affair that he’d always dreamed of making and paid tribute to the likes of the Rat Pack and swingers of yore. That dream was realised, seeing as he’d gone from slightly worryingly unsuccessful ex-boyband member to the UK’s biggest star in the space of a couple of years, and he could do whatever he fancied at this point

That dream was realised, seeing as he’d gone from slightly worryingly unsuccessful ex-boyband member to the UK’s biggest star in the space of a couple of years, and he could do whatever he fancied at this point

 

As part of the idea to recreate the duet, Robbie required someone to duet with, and chose up-and-coming Australian singer Nicole Kidman, whose first chart hit was Come What May, a duet with Ewan MacGregor from Baz Luhrmann’s film Moulin Rouge, had reached Number 27 in the Official Singles Chart a couple of months earlier, and she would follow-up her Robbie duet the following April with the Number 79 success of One Day I’ll Fly Away also from the film. Unfortunately, that was about the dimensions of her pop chart career, sadly.

 

Oh. Hang on, according to the internet, Nicole Kidman has done quite well as an actor.

 

However this hit made her the twelfth Australian artist to top the Official Singles Chart and the third to have won an Academy Award for Best Actress (after Barbra Streisand and Cher) which kinda makes up for not doing terribly well as a pop star.

Swing When You’re Winning – a play on his previous long-player’s title Sing When You’re Winning – became one of Robbie’s biggest-selling albums, spending seven weeks a-top the Official Albums Chart, as well as giving him the double of a Christmas Number 1 on both the singles and albums list, the first of four releases to occupy that coveted position, with 2002’s Escapology, 2004’s Greatest Hits and 2013’s Swings Both Ways. He’s had 13 Official Album Chart Number 1s, it was inevitable that a couple of them would spend Christmas in that slot.
