Among another assemblage of "names" including Karl Lagerfeld, Siobhan Fahey, Colin Firth, Guy Ritchie, Ryan Phillippe, "Diddy" David Hamilton, José Feliciano, Arnold Palmer, Beryl Cook, footballer Jack Grealish, Sir Thomas Allen, Don Powell from Slade, Judy Geeson, Margaret Trudeau and (ahem) Johnnie Fingers, it's the birthday today of Miss Carol Decker [not pictured above]!
With her band T'Pau, she ruled the airwaves in the 1980s, with "karaoke classics" such as these:
Don't push too far, your dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might have set upon yourself
China in your hand
Memories, indeed.
There's probably not a single person from my generation who couldn't sing along to that..!
I saw Carol Decker on some TV show not too long ago - I can't remember what it was, though? Anyway, much as I enjoy "China In Your Hand", "Secret Garden" was my favourite T'Pau song.
ReplyDeleteNot sure I want to contemplate Carol Decker's "Secret Garden", to be honest. 😂 Jx
DeleteIt might just be me but while watching the last video it suddenly struck me how much she looks like Catherine Tate.
ReplyDeleteI'm still giggling while typing this. Perhaps Catherine Tate should remake the video a La French and Saunders.
"Am I bovvered, though?!" Jx
