MICHELE RICHARD - DOU DA DOU
lyrically, not the most challenging - but wonderful none the less. it's pure cinematic backing music to walking round the streets with your lover, wearing a mini, smiling, hopelessly in love - you'll know what i mean as soon as you hear it!

DELPHINE - A BIENTOT SANS DOUTE
oh i do like delphine - she released 3 e.p.s on decca from 66 to 67 - but i only have 3 of her songs. it's time to look at your collection to see if you can help me -
what i am looking for is ne le cris pas sur les toits / c'est la premiere fois / premiere partout / ne t'en va jamias / j'ai laisse l'amour / i'll pleut aussi a hollywood

CLEO - A MES BOTTES
cleo seems like one of the harder dolls to find - there's a few classics appearing on compilation cds but lots of her other songs seems to have got lost- but no more! i'm going to bring you a few songs that hopefully you've not heard before - they are all 'aiff' files so i hope you can play them - they work ok on my laptop but you may need to convert them. here's a great song to start you off with
