Re: RIP Ricky Valance
One of many songs banned by the BBC for its reference to 'death'. Remember someone once adamantly telling me that he opened the Woodstock concert in '69. Oh dear!

Re: RIP Ricky Valance
I think this was the first single I ever bought- certainly is was one of the first 2 or 3. I can still remember the lyrics, cheesy as they are. I never realized RV was Welsh rather than American until relatively recently, so......... gorffwys mewn heddwch Ricky.
By the time "Terry" by Twinkle came out I think I'd got past the morbid song stage.
