DaveN 1,118 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 He must have been one of the most laid-back singers of all time and he was obviously very popular with all the shows he had on t.v..R.I.P. Val 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barclaycon 569 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 He was very good at that 'laid-back' kind of style. Not particularly my cup of tea, but oviously immensely popular and he did sell tons of records. I recall his version of 'Elusive Butterfly' as being particularly good.

TBI 2,351 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 I always like Val, ever since I heard Paddy McGintys Goat when I was little. Nice easy listening and one of my mam's favourites. RIP Val. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
