how about Eartha Kitt.....

I've learned more about singers in the last couple of hours than in the rest of my life! No....not Eartha Kitt, (but I only know that because I looked her up earlier!) Must dash....back later Merry

have been googling away furiously looking for pictures that match discription, no luck....hubby fantastic on music, he not answering his mobile, must be in meeting, very inconsiderate of him! Fuzzy x

Hi Merry,ive seen the lady in question live at a jazz pub in Barnes London ,but not sure of her name ive googled many sites just now,i think it might be Marian Anderson ,very bubbly lady, name might come to me later. best wishes wendy

Just tuned in...Has anyone mentioned a Bernice someone or other. I am sure that's the one.....

So dont like you anymore Merry!! I can picture the blasted woman as clear as day and cannot think of her name!!! I have phoned my mum who can also picture her and cant think of her name!! blasted hubby still not answering his phone and still cant find her on the net!! Hope we get this sorted out today !!!! Fuzz x

Not really here, but....laura - those will keep me busy!! Thanks to everyone for pulling out all the stops!!! I'm sure we will have the answer soon (I can feel it).......Just doing kids tea....back after parents evening !! lol Merry

Where did my reply go??? It was me who mentioned Bernice and I'm sure it is that or very similar. I know that my husband would get it if he heard the first name so I just tried to ring - he is in a meeting. I've sent an email, just hope that he looks at his Blackcurrant. I am trying to picture Michael Parkinson saying 'Here is the wonderful Bernice ...' but WHAT? Christina

Do you mean the little tubby BERNICE who married a gorgeous fella much youner than herself.... then suddenly died?? NOPE............ can't remember!! LOL Don't those men in white coats take ages to arrive?????? Deanna X

We do, Deanna, we do. Keep thinking. Christina

Christina.....your Bernice reply is on Page 3!! Deanna - stop it!!!!!!!!!! lol Merry

Yes Bernice rings a bell!! Keep thinking girls, still cant get hold of hubby! Fuzz x

Oooohhh someone quick....just come in and read all this thread.... I can see her too but can't remember her name. Thankyou Merry for raising my blood pressure even higher....lol. Jean x.

Keep thinking.....off to parents evening..... Merry

I read through all five pages with bated breath...and I've googled as well. I'm as sure as I can be that it was Bernice Redding - if not it was something very similar. She was a little roly poly woman with no apparent hang ups about her size... and the toy boy. Funny she seems to have vanished without trace when she seemed to have such a huge personality. Perhaps that's it - she was maybe just a personality and never really did much... Sheila

Just had a brain storm Her name was BERTICE READING Now google away for all the details. Over and out Sheila

I think she's got it!!!!!!! lol

You're right. Groan - I have just been searching for Bernice Reading - but it is, Bertice - hurrah. Christina

Just done an image google of Bertice Reading, that is the woman that I was thinking of, I will sleep tonight, well done sheila!! Fuzzy x

Glad to be of service ladies *doffs hat and bows low*
