Alma Cogan remembered

She was a 50's icon that led the way for so many female stars of a generation and yet today almost is forgotten in modern music - We decided to readdress this and take a look at the wonderful career of Ms Alma Cogan

I was only 3 when Alma died and I first heard her music in the late 1980's. I was an instant fan and over the years I have collected all sorts of things connected with her and being lucky to work in community radio I do my level best to keep her music alive. God bless her.

Now sleeping with the angels.

Sad, never heard of this lady until I heard her singing "Love ya Illya" on a video salute to David McCallum's character Illya Kuryakin from the 1960s NBC TV show"The Man from U.N.C.L.E "..very interesting..

Alma was a real star. She was colour in a world of black and white.
