Just popped on here to see if youd sorted it, thank gawd, Ive been driving hubby mad over dinner - I knew it was a variation on Bernice, I could SEE her but I just couldnt think of her name. I was going to see if youd found her and then trawl the net for Michael Parkinson shows in the 90's! Well done peeps. Ill give you another one like this tomorrow.

I haven't seen any younger photos of her Merry, I only remember her as you do, and your portrait of her was good that I recognised who you were talking about immediately, but like you, not the name. I have tried googling to find out how she died and a bit about her life, but no luck - not that good with computers. I remember her singing on GMTV - and someone said about her singing with a weathergirl, and Raining Men - I think that happened on that show......I seem to remember something about it.......lovely voice....

I never would have guessed that in a million years lol I'll have to tell everyone tomorrow :)

Sally - yes, I think you are right. Good job I didn't just come across her name randomly, because some of the photos where she is a lot younger, I might not have recognised her! Merry

Fuzzy, You should put that (Google, Images thing) on Tips, because......well........it's a brilliant Tip! I had never noticed the Image Search option before! Merry

Yes, there she is kaftan and all - she was really bubbly wasn't she, bags of personality........I seem to remember her having a heart attack, but perhaps I am wrong........shame anyway.

Hi Merry, so pleased for you!!!! for you and anyone else who is interested re pictures of anyone or anything, if you go into google and then images and type in what or who you want it will give you pictures (kids have their uses!!) Oh well back to the research!!! Fuzz x

****now, the next challenge is..................**** You should worry about this, because I have loads of these memory problems!!! tee-hee! Merry

Yes, you were Sally.......Trouble was I knew I wasn't going to be able to be ''reminded'' of her name......It was going to take more.......!!!! Fancy she died in 1991. Obviously something wrong in my brain as I can see myself watching her on a talk show with her new hubby (so 1990) sitting on the sofa we bought in 1994! lol Wasn't a repeat, so I am on the wrong sofa in the wrong room.........Now I see how cross we can get when our elderly relations don't tell us correct facts about our families!! lol Merry

So when I said Redding on page 2 I was right, but the Bertrice I wouldn't have remembered, but d now you say it.

*waits for the next challenge:-)))

hoorrrayyyy What is your next 5 year challenge?

She's absolutely 100% the right person!!!!! Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much everyone for all your ideas and input! I have just been looking at some of those photos of her!!! Brill! Hubby has a glazed look. He said, ''Wasn't it Ella Fitzgerald'' (again!!) This is fantastic.....I feel as if i have got one of my nine lives back!!! Merry

I made a mistake Penny!!!!! Back in a mo... Merry

We'll let you off then.

I've been watching this on & off. If you go to google & then click on images you will see lots of pics of Bertice. Thought we were looking for someone who died after 1994 though!?

lol Christina:))) I was at work but I'm not sure I'd have got it anyway until I saw the name:)

Where were you when we needed you David? ;-) Christina

I just searched for the name from the web on the BBC home page and there are several entries, including this one with a lovely pic of her (replace * with .): http://www.rodshone*com/portraits_6.htm Christina

IT'S OK!!!! I FOUND A PHOTO!!! IT'S HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Back in a mo.. Merry
