I think the song you want is Brian Bedford's. It's in the DT - select W in DT Lyrics (drop down box at the top of this page) and press Browse. Look for What's The Use Of Wings in the list.

WINGS or, to give the song its full title, "What's the Use of Wings" was written by Brian Bedford.

Vin Garbutt did record a superb version.

Brian is the male member (I mean that musically) of the wondeful unacc. harmony trio Artisan, who also sing a superb version.

Vin always attributes the song to the writer Brian Bedford and rightfully praises him highly. I would also add that that IMHO opinion that dear departed John Wright also made a superb rendition of this song.
To see them both live (on many occasions) deliver their own versions of this song has been spine chilling in the delivery and performance of such a beautiful song.
Well done Brian.

Cheers Betsy
