    Thanks for uploading this clip. Sallie was my cousin and a former member of the Vernon's Girls in the UK, and the only other footage we have of her is her appearance in the Cliff Richard Event at Wembley Stadium in 1989. She was reunited with other members, to perform songs from the Oh Boy era of the late 1950s in that show in front of probably 80,000 people.

    Hi John, I'm happy someone has appreciated the clip. Sally was a good friend and a wonderful human being. We regularly spent many a late night listening to her singing at a Canberra restaurant, called Bogarts, with Tom Hardy on the white grand piano. Great times :-)

      Hi there, as you may see from my reply to John, I recently found out I'm related to Sally however don't remember much of her due to only being young when she was around. Could you tell me more about her? :)

      Hi Hannah, I was just exploring my youtube account and found all these comments I didn't know about!
      I knew Sally when living in Canberra in the late 70's. She was a popular singer who was involved in the theatre and nightclub circuit there. She sang for several years at Bogart's Restaurant in Civic accompanied by Tom Hardy (I think that was his surname) on the white baby grand and another guy on acoustic bass. They performed all the old jazz standards until very late at night. It was a marvellous period. She also performed at community events such as the Canberra Wine and Food Frolic accompanied on piano by Alex Powell, another prominent pianist around town. She was a wonderful, warm individual who was loved by all she knew.
