Alma Cogan - The Birds and the Bees
Columbia SEGS-141 Sweden 1966
Sleeve : Excellent
Vinyl : Excellent
Alma Cogan was one of the most successful and tragic figures in English pop music of the '50s and early '60s. Her 18 chart hits were a record for a female singer at the end of the '50s in England, and despite being part of the pre-rock & roll era, Cogan seemed capable of working with the new music when her life was cut short.
Cogan began her career doing ballads, but she also covered several American hits, including "The Birds and the Bees" and "Why Do Fools Fall in Love," which was a hint of the range she would show in her later career. In 1966, she was diagnosed with cancer. She received treatments and planned to continue her career, even writing several songs that were recorded by other singers. She kept working during the year, and an album was intended. Cogan continued concertizing, and while touring Sweden, she fainted. She was diagnosed as terminally ill, and died on October 26 of that year in a London hospital.
