That was probably a bit unfair.  Waiting For Gillian was recorded by the late Mr Matt Munro.  Matt was the first British singer to tale part in the 'Hoarse Of The Year Show' (Eurovision Song Contest) way back in the days when we entered real songs sung by real singers.  He finished a very creditable second.
      Used to have the occasional drink with Matt M. when I lived in Ealing. A very nice chap he was. Also sung the title track to the original Italian Job film, and didn't he do the UK version of Born Free which I think was also recorded by Andy Williams for the US market?
Yes Paul, the smooth voice MM did all of that, and was one of the most loved singers of his day.  He died of liver cancer, I believe.

The answer is yes, Who sang postcard.

 

Matt Munro did have a beautiful soft silky voice and did a wonderful job of Born Free.

Sorry Ruth haven't a clue on Postcard.

I think the question might have already been answered Wolf, but I'll go for The Hollies too.

150 years ago today, a well known traditional folk song relating to Texas was published. What song is it?

It's also the day the Great Fire of London started in Pudding Lane in 1666. Just thought I'd mention it. 13,000 buildings destroyed.

It might have been by any chance. Doris Day probably didn't sing it 150 years ago; it just seems like it.
