In 1972, aged 15 me and a mate were on a bus going to see Vinegar Joe (the band with Elkie Brooks and Robert Palmer). On the bus we heard of a Valentine's Day disco that was on our route,. There would be, we were assured, lots of girls.
We got off the bus. I met a girl, eventually married her and had two daughters with her.
So missing Elkie Brooks changed my life.
But I preferred Robert Palmer as a singer.

Darlo I just Googled Pearl.
Apparently she used to be a winner but now she spends a lot of time at 'beer stained tables' in nightclubs.
To be honest she sounds perfect for West Ham.

"We'll never know Garth". I meant Far Cough. Not Garth. I had been wondering if Elkie was a relative of Garth Brooks and that obviously stayed in my ailing mind.

Very much doubt it, but she can sing Pearls' A Singer for a bit of half time entertainment. Perfect for many on here as Oearl plays songs for the lost and the lonely.

We'll never know Garth. Len should commission a national survey on how many people have heard of her. If he is ever is in a "brewster's millions" type situation that can be his first purchase.

Young bloke started at work of late told me he was into his gospel music and simaler. I said to him I like Johnny Cash and lot of his early work was religious and that it always run through his work he stated he never heared of him.
Never again will I have a conversation with youngster over music.

Fifth, why?
I've heard of Mozart but he died well before I was born.
I'm not saying Elkie Brooks is another Mozart but she has a good body of work that still survives to this day

PS Len, I hate to tell you this mate but if her heyday was in the early 70s as referred to on this thread then you'd need to be about 60 to have a more than evens chance of having heard of her. Is your friend in the pub a lot younger than you?

Yes, but I'd reckon zero people under 50 would have heard of her.
