Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man [ 10 ] [71.43%]

Flowered Up - Weekender [ 4 ] [28.57%]

 

Well the indie dance magic of Flowered Up couldn't tempt you and Dusty roars to her third win. Next up is probably one of the best singles of the 80s if not ever as Ivo used Liz Fraser to such devastating effect on This Mortal Coil's Song to the Siren.

 

You have until whenever I get round to announcing the results to vote!

The Mortal Coil easily - one of the most gorgeous tracks of all time! :wub: :wub:

Love Dusty as I do, it has to be This Mortal Coil for me this time - it's a really classic, beautiful record.... and Elizabeth Fraser has, I think, the most gorgeous voice in the world.

It just has to be This Mortal Coil & Elizabeth Fraser's sublime reading of the Tim Buckley (father of Jeff) classic:

 

Tim Buckley - Song To The Siren (1968)

Son of a Preacher Man

Dusty for me

This Mortal Coil
