  1. Loved the G.A.S.B. hour. Interesting to see how different artists interpreted the numbers. I did think that Kirsty McColl's "Miss Otis " was a bit strange. I always think that should be sung by a black singer...Ella does it beautifully. I had forgotton what a good voice Jack Jones had...thank God for the BBC
