Might just be the greatest wiki page, ever
Also in the sixties, he tried his hand at acting with a cameo role in the film "2001, a Space Odyssey", where he played one of the apes surrounding the black obelisk at the start of the film. Appalled by the violence in the later "enlightened ape" scene, he stormed off the set, ending his acting career.

My very earliest musical memories involve playing 78rpm records of Doris Day.
I can still recall many of the words to Whip Crackaway (The deadwood stage is coming n over them hills) and The Windy City ( it’s mighty pretty, but it ain’t got what we got), and of course Que Sera.

I always associated "Secret Love" with Kathy Kirby.
Memory jogged, I looked up Kathy Kirby on wiki, I could not even remember if she was still alive. (She died 8 years ago this Sunday apparently).
Wish I had not now, found all this rather sad....
Following her bankruptcy in 1975 and a court case following an arrest over an unpaid hotel bill, she was referred to St Luke's psychiatric hospital in London in 1979. Following her discharge, she lived witha female fan, Laraine McKay, and said that they intended to marry. McKay was imprisoned for fraud and forgery.In the early 1980s Kirby had relationships with musician David Cross and lawyer Alan Porter.
Kirby was diagnosed with schizophrenia and was in poor physical and mental health for much of her life. After her retirement she lived in a series of apartments and hotels in west London, settling in an apartment in Emperor's Gate, South Kensington, surviving on state benefits and some royalties, and maintaining what has been called a "Garbo-esque" seclusion. Shortly before her death Kirby moved to Brinsworth House in Twickenham at the insistence of her niece Sarah, Lady Thatcher, wife of Mark Thatcher. Another niece, Claudia, became Lady Rothermere after marrying Viscount Rothermere.[27]
Kirby died on 19 May 2011, a few days after moving to Brinsworth House. According to a message posted by a relative on a fan website, she suffered a heart attack. She was survived by her sister Pat and her brother Douglas

Tom, will we get in trouble for having bants on the Dead Thread? Don't wish to offend anyone, feels a bit like dancing in the local cemetery or Crem.

I don't know but in general I think dead people enjoy folks sharing memories of them.
