Re: Name that tune
On a roll here Plummy - I wasn't at all confident that anyone would recognise the lyrics, hence the clue.
Once again, over to you.

Hm. Thought it might last a bit longer that one
Great band live Heart, a good rock band. Although they only had power ballad 'hits' really.

I have the record on vinyl so maybe I had an advantage.

Wild guess -- Liza Minnelli, Cabaret? (I don't know anything about the film and haven't seen it... or the song for that matter. )

Without the clue I would have said "There's No Business Like Show Business", but now I am less sure.

Re: Name that tune
Neither are correct - sorry fellas. Next clue - the artist is British (but had early success in the USA (Grammy nominated for one song)). His (next clue) career started in the early 70's and he's still going!

Re: Name that tune
My first thought was Paul Nicholas, but it's more likely to be David Essex ...

Re: Name that tune
Don't think so Jill, wasn't Evita a bit later?
Can't think of another musical he was in though, unless he was in Chess? But even that's not 70s I don't think.

Re: Name that tune
I don’t know Steve, it was a not very well educated guess.
I have only seen two musicals, Hair and Oh Calcutta.

Re: Name that tune
He did sing "Don't Cry for me Argentina" in Evita, which sort of fits the lyric Dave has posted (I can think of "of what a circus, oh what a show ...")?

Re: Name that tune
Well, I have to give the plaudits to Wolfie as even though it wasn't a formal guess/stab in the dark, he has written the correct answer with "Oh What a Circus" -1979 according to the interweb!

Just what you mean to me"
