Okay, a new oldy.......Who sang?

OMG my post sounded a bit 'know it all',

Did not mean that at all....

I used to be involved with Hospital Radio so have an unusually large record collection, that is how I come to have so many versions of particular song.

While we wait for Terry.......

In 1965, a Welsh singer recorded a song  that featured a lot of the Ted Heath Band with Jimmy Page [Led Zepplin] on guitar. Went to number 1 in the UK and then also in the US. 

What song did this Welsh singer record that was originally written for Sandy Shaw? 

Sorry Cathy; Shirley Bassey had already made a name for herself with the Goldfinger title track; this person was a virtual unknown when they went into Decca's recording studios in St John's Wood, London to record a song that hadn't been intended for them---then it went to number 1.

So, What do we have here in early 1965?  An unknown Welsh singer; a song with a big band type sound, and guitar licks in the middle 8 by Jimmy Page. Another clue---later in their career, my dad played in their backing band in the US; notably in Las Vegas.
