Bei Durchsicht des Alma Cogan-Forums musste ich feststellen, dass es weder eine Kurz-Bio noch eine Single-Disco gibt, obwohl dieser Thread immerhin bereits fünf Seiten hat. Ich werde das jetzt nachholen.
Kurz-Bio:
Die Pop-Sängerin Alma Cogan wurde am 19. Mai 1932 in Whitechapel, Borough Of Stepney, East-London, England, als Alma Angela Cohen geboren und verstarb am 26. Oktober 1966, erst 34-jährig, im londoner Middlesex Hospital an Krebs. 1952 nahm sie ihre erste Schallplatte mit dem Titel "To Be Worthy of You" auf. Mitte der Sechziger machte sie auch deutschsprachige Einspielungen. Sie betätigte sich auch als Songwriterin.
