Ray Martin Munsell 30th Jun 2020		Review Rosemary Squires was born in Bristol , England , on December 7 1928 , and her first single " Band Of Gold " was released in February 1956. She faced stiff competition from rival versions by artists including Rose Brennan , Petula Clark , Kit ( a.k.a. Kay ) Carson , and Don Cherry , and hers quickly sank without trace. She was accompanied on " Band Of Gold " by the Roland Shaw Orchestra , in a relatively simple interpretation which was at odds with the over-blown productions on most of the other versions , and this might partly explain the single's failure. However , Squires has a very appealing pure voice with perfect pitch , and her take on " Band Of Gold " is very engaging, Rosemary Squires released a total of 14 singles in the U.K. between 1956 - 1967 , but none of them even entered the U.K. Top 40. Undeterred by her lack of success on vinyl , she forged ahead and managed to establish herself quickly as a highly-acclaimed vocalist in the jazz / big band / easy listening genres of music , performing for many years internationally in concerts and cabaret. Her career started in 1940 , at the young age of 11 , and lasted right thru into the 21st. century. 20 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
