Cyril was a giant. Fabulous song-writer an a warm original singer.I did a floor spot at Cyril's club in Plymouth in 1967, and I had a nice chat with him. I had always wondered who were Cyril's musical inspirations - remembering that he was writing songs before any obvioiusly role-models were around. I was amazed when he cited pop singer Guy Mitchell's material as being the inspiration for a number of his, Cyril's, well-known compositions. Anyway, whatever the inspiration, Cyril's great songs will be with us for a very long time.
