who was that man?

while channel hopping this morning I saw a 70's singer playing a classical piece on his guitar. I've
been rackinh my brains all day and I've forgotten name of singer. It was on either bbc breakfast or
itv1 GMTV. Very grateful for any help.

Jeff Beck was on BBC Breakfast to talk about his first new album for seven years - 'Emotion and Commotion' is an eclectic mix including his own personal interpretation of Puccini's 'Nessun Dorma'.

Thankyou very much for the link ABerrant. Now my husband will know what I'm
talking about . Isuppose there's a first time for everything!

Did he sing Hi Ho Silver Lining?

[cupid04]

Yes!

Fantastic! Still one of my favourite songs to dance to!

I agree Lardy, it's one of those songs that can fill the dance floor but I remember reading that Beck has come to hate the song even though it's made him a lot of money and never plays it if he can help it

Well at least he didn't ban the shops from selling it like that pudding Marti Pellow from Wet Wet Wet did with "Love is All Around". Do you remember - he had it pulled from the shelves because it was selling too much - berk

If I was a rock star I don't think I'd be too upset about about one of my records selling like hot cakes

I dont remember calling him a pudding - I don't recall him being fat - but never mind!
