Sally / Homework

So for my homework I had to start a blog, this is it and I am already wanting to change all the settings again!
I found this on Youtube and was surprised at the nostalgia it evoked within me. Katy Carr confused me somewhat, a regal lady in 1940's attire, with a strange little hat on her head, she didn't look out of place until you realised she was behind a synthesizer and the crowd were dressed in the usual jeans and a tee.... then we found out she is a pilot, this lady is full of surprises.

Dame Gracie Fields, DBE (9 January 1898 – 27 September 1979), born Grace Stansfield, was an english-born, later Italian-based actress, singer and comedienne widely hailed as one of the greatest stars of both cinema and music hall.

Born over a fish and chip shop owned by her grandmother in Molesworth Street, Rochdale, Lancashire, she made her first stage appearance as a child in 1905. Her two sisters, Edith and Betty, and brother, Tommy, all went on to appear on stage, but Gracie was the most successful. Her professional debut in variety took place at the Rochdale Hippodrome theatre in 1910 and she soon gave up her job in the local cotton mill.
Her most famous song, which became her theme, "Sally," was worked into the title of her first film, Sally in Our Alley (1931), which was a major box office hit hit. She went on to make several films initially in Britain and later in the United States (for which she was paid a record fee of US$ 200,000 for four films). Regardless, she never enjoyed the process of performing without a live audience.
Ironically, the final few lines of the song "Sally" were written by her husband's mistress, and Fields sang this song at nearly every performance she made from 1931 onwards.
