'A national treasure' - so ran the headline
from a recent review for Britain's first lady of song. It's an
overworked term but as much-loved singer Rosemary Squires MBE
embarks on her Diamond Anniversary year, celebrating 60 years of
making music, she is still topping the bill.
An early ambition to become a jazz singer
flourished into Big Band, Cabaret & Variety. Known as the
'Queen of the Jingles' her 'Hands that do dishes...' is the longest
running jingle ever.
This year Rosemary is recording a CD with the
Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra, followed by tour as the star guest
with the Glenn Miller Orchestra. Says Rosemary 'I seem to have been
discovered more times than Sooty!'. As distinctive as she is
enduring, as accomplished as she is self-mocking, Rosemary Squires
is as much of the darling of her army of fans today as ever.
Rosemary's modest demeanour &
down-to-earth style may sometimes mask the brilliance of her talent
& the extent of her achievements, but the longevity of her
glittering career is down to far more than her common touch - she
has versatility of style & a purity of voice that have stood
the test of time.
As sprightly & vivacious as ever, Rosemary
nowadays tends to pick & choose her appearances, but demand
remains undimmed. A regular broadcaster & twice voted most
televised vocalist of the year. Rosemary has shared top billing at
major venues on both sides of the Atlantic - from Danny Kaye &
Sammy Davis Jnr to Cliff Richard & Ken Dodd.
Honoured in 2004 with the MBE for her services
to music & charity, Rosemary has a gold badge of merit awarded
by the British Academy of Songwriters.
It speaks volumes that she is as highly
regarded throughout the music industry today as she ever was.
