´óÏó´«Ã½

"I guess greatness should be oozing from every corner of tonight's show ..." says Keen Gelly in his e-mail about tonight's show. The theme is great songwriting partnerships, which we naively thought could be done in one night. Ha!

Lennon and McCartney, Leiber and Stoller, and Goffin and King could all be separate themes. It's only when you sit down and look at a partnership like Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil you realise how much scope there is for the show. They wrote Here You Come Again, On Broadway and You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling. Not a bad contribution to popular culture eh?

Morrissey and Marr will no doubt be suggested amongst the best of the British bunch, although I promise not to over enthuse about them. Especially after Cindy sent the following response to my coronation of The Smiths as the best ever...

" It's official!! (it was announced on the ´óÏó´«Ã½) 'The Smiths are the greatest band of all time! Disappointed runners up included Take That, Bros, Bay City Rollers, Kajagoogoo etc etc."
