  3. "Sad" - Andy Williams

    An emerald green jumper, and the mike used by Terry Wogan when he was in a couple of months back. Great way to send us all to sleep and make the next song pop.

    Andy would eventually return to the studio, and we saw "Music to watch girls by" just a few weeks ago.

  4. "Solitaire" is a ballad composed by #NeilSedaka with lyrics by Phil Cody and originally recorded by Sedaka on his 1972 album #Solitaire. It uses the card game of solitaire as a metaphor for a man "who lost his love through his indifference"—"while life goes on around him everywhere he's playing solitaire". A version by #AndyWilliams reached number 4 in the #UKSinglesChart in 1973. In 1975, the song was a U.S. top-20 single for #theCarpenters.
