Remembering the incredible Bonnie Tyler, who has sadly passed away at the age of 75.
In this 1977 interview, from early in her career, she chats about her origins and the vocal operation that gave her that iconic raspy tone.
Watch to the end to see her absolute professionalism; gracefully answering the same question twice from the show's kid presenters. A true class act from day one. Rest in peace, Bonnie.

Make sure you watch until the end for the bingo hall owner who refused to let a little thing like football distract him from a full house... 🎱🏆

So sad to hear about the passing of the celebrated artist David Hockney at the age of 88.

Rest in peace, David Hockney.
