Sharing the day with another mismatched assortment of names, including Telly Savalas, Plácido Domingo, Martin Shaw, Benny Hill, Billy Ocean, Cristóbal Balenciaga, Steve Reeves, Christian Dior, Geena Davis, Edwin Starr, Jack Nicklaus, Lola Flores, Phil Neville, Richie Havens, Karl Wallenda, Wolfman Jack and - erm - Rasputin, our own ickle Baby Spice is (gulp!) fifty years old today [born the same day as the first commercial flights by Concorde]!
Now I feel old...
Here she is, with her biggest solo hit:
This cover of an old Edie Brickell song, however, remains my favourite:
Many happy returns, Miss Emma Lee Bunton (born 21st January 1976)!
There was something about Emma Bunton (even as Baby Spice) I always liked. And I loved her in AbFab.
ReplyDeleteShe always seemed to be the one Spice Girl who was just there to have fun [even if that is probably completely untrue] - and I, too, am always drawn to people who are prepared to take the piss out of themselves (as she was doing in AbFab)... Jx
DeleteEmma Lee Bunton is adorable and at 50 still a young-un as far as I am concerned.
ReplyDeleteLove the last track.
It's a great song! Jx
