Does anybody remember this British singer from the 1960's?

Kathy Kirby (born October 20, 1940 with the name Kathleen O'Rourke) was a popular British singer of the 1960s. She was born in Ilford, Essex. Her phenomenal soprano voice became apparent early in life and she was thought to be good enough for opera. However she became a professional singer after meeting the bandleader, Ambrose at the Ilford Palais. She remained with Ambrose's band for three years and he remained her manager and mentor until his death in 1971. She adopted the look of a 'blonde bombshell', very like Marilyn Monroe. Her looks, lip-gloss and her powerful, pitch-perfect voice became her trademarks. She had a string of Top 20 hits between 1963 and 1965, the best known of which is probably Secret Love. A later hit 'You're the One' is a particularly good demonstration of her remarkable breath control. Kathy became one of the biggest stars of the mid-sixties, appearing in the Royal Command Variety Performance and two television series for the BBC. She represented the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1965 and came second with the song 'I Belong'. Kathy Kirby's star faded in the late sixties: although she recorded 12 singles and an album between 1967 and 1973, none were hits. Ambrose's death was devastating for her. She had some personal problems in the 1970s including personal bankruptcy in 1977, which she paid off. During the late seventies, Kathy Kirby virtually retired from show business. She currently resides in London.
