I was born November 1953. I remember them. My mother liked them.

aww,my dear mum liked them,brings back happy memories watching them on tv with my mum and grandmother.
:-D :-D

My dad was quite keen on another singing couple Vernon and Maryetta Midgley. I think they were quite a bit younger than Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnson so may still be singing, though they must be in their 70s now I should think. I believe they were brother and sister. They used to be regular performers on "Friday Night is Music Night" and generally sang operetta or light classics.

Was born in Dec. 1953, but I remember them Could not picture them though.

That Brian Johnson was Teddy's brother.

Nostalgia bites again :-D :-D :-D :-D

Athough I was around in their heyday....... Nope, not even after looking them up on Wiki!

I watched a minute ago and nearly made me cry.
I remember it very well,I was 9/10 at the time

Thank you and well done to them for reaching that age.

Not Bad.
I was in North Thailand and No TV there.

Of course I am far too young to remember 'Sing Little Birdie', I don't remember 'Looking high, high, high. Looking low, low, low. Wondering why,why,why, did she go,go,go' either.

I don't even remember that the singer was called Brian Johnston.

Was it the 'Billy Cotton Band Show' that they appeared in on a Saturday night. There was always a good bit of variety on Saturdays then so it could even have been tye 'Black and White Minstrel Show'.

My mum loved them

Another one of her idols was Donald Peers

Oh those names bring back so many memories,
thank you Bob. xx :-) :-) :-)

I remember them on tv, nice that they are still going strong and still wed to each other.

MY MUM LOVED HEARING THEM SING

I remember them singing two little birdies in the 1959 Eurovision I was eight at the time and loved it :-) :-)

I remember them also :-)

Memories indeed, where did the years go?

Emma :-)

Saw them live at a theatre in Manchester where they were recording a show.cant remember the name of the radio show,but they were the singing duo they used to have during a comedy show.this was in the 50's and they were very popular.

Memories!! :-)

Those names are a blast from the past.

My Mum used to love them. We used to
listen to them o the radio and at my Nan's house on a Saturday evening after the Black and White Minstrals Show (can I say that now?).

Mum used to play her records on Nan and Grandad's gramophone because we didn't have a record player at home at the time ..... the Dansette came later.

The gramophone was in a gorgeous walnut cabinate with a radio with loads of "bands" and knobs and was in the parlour with the posh 3 piece suite.

Happy Days
