Cliff & Paul

Over the last twenty four hours here in the U.K. we have lost two television greats. Neither can be described as musical but they both give me the opportunity to mention some songs from my collection.

Cliff Michelmore was ever present on our screens throughout the sixties and seventies and also on the radio every Sunday morning co-presenting Two-way Family Favourites. He fronted news and topical programmes such as Tonight and latterly Holiday.

  So with a very tenuous link here are a few songs.

"Tonight" by The Rubettes    



               "Holidays in the sun" by The Sex Pistols   


  "Hooray Hooray It's a Holi Holiday" by Boney M


Paul Daniels was for many many years the best known magician on British television. After coming second on the talent show "Opportunity Knocks" in 1970 he was given a regular spot on the show "Wheel tappers & shunters club", eventually getting his own series and becoming a regular on Saturday night T.V.

So how about some musical magic as a tribute to one of Britain's best loved entertainers.

"Magic" by Pilot   

"It's a kind of magic" - by Queen     

  "Magic carpet ride" by Steppenwolf


 

Thanks for the T.V. memories
