“I only heard snippets of the question.”

Lawrence the Painter says he didn’t hear all of Barney's question.

“I was down in the scullery and the wireless was in the front room,” says Lawrence the Painter. “So I only heard snippets of Barneys question. But I'm going to say Nancy Sinatra.

Today’s question: “I was born in 1927 and was discovered by the man I would later marry after divorcing my first husband. I was the first artist to receive a Grammy in pop, jazz, and classical. I was described as the est singer in the world” by the Sunday Times music critic. In 1992 I supported Frank Sinatra for a week at the Royal Albert Hall. I completed a booking celebrating the 40th anniversary of a club, The Stables, and when the show finished, I announced to the audience that my husband had died earlier that day.”

With music from The Beatles, The Hollies, The Everly Brothers, and more.
