      After 3 great chart hits, they then followed up with Waldo PE Jones, really a quite naff song, out of keeping with what they had done previously..very sad! They might just as well have done.. Sugar Sugar instead! Imagine if they had done another quality cover song, they could have had a FOURTH hit! With glam rock going on at the time, I think they fell out of favour and received much less radio airplay.

    This music is 50 years old now. But it's always great yet. Polly Brown was a great singer. It's a pity that since then we don't hear anything of her. It's possible, I'm a little old fashioned, but I'm a fan of hers. She is as good as Dionne Warwick.
