Format:Audio CD
Listening to this compilation, I am left with the feeling that Polly should have been more successful than she actually was. Polly started brightly as lead singer of Pickettywitch, who had a UK top five hit with That same old feeling. Pickettywitch had two lesser UK hits (Sad old kinda movie, Baby I won't let you down) and attracted significant airplay in America with Days I remember, though they never had a hit in America.
Polly left Pickettywitch to pursue a solo career. She missed an opportunity when her version of Amoureuse was not released for several months after the recording was made. By that time, Kiki Dee had recorded it and released it first.
In 1974, she formed the duo Sweet dreams and had a UK top ten hit with Honey honey, an Abba song that Abba didn't release as a UK single. Two other Sweet dreams tracks are included here.
Reverting to a solo career, it might appear that Polly missed further opportunities when she recorded a couple of songs written by Biddu. The first (Love bug) was released as a single but didn't chart. The second (Dance little lady dance) wasn't released as a single. Biddu took his songs to Tina Charles who had a major hit with Dance little lady dance. She also had a minor hit with Love bug when it was put into a medley with the oldie Sweets for my sweet. I believe that Tina was better suited to sing these songs although I love Polly's original versions.
However, Polly had one solo hit - Up in a puff of smoke, which was only a minor UK hit but made the American top twenty. Polly believes that her best chance of a solo hit was with Do you believe in love at first sight. Her record company entered it in the Eurovision Song Contest qualifying round. The qualifying round (and ultimately the whole contest) was won by Brotherhood of Man with Save your kisses for me, but because Polly's song didn't qualify for the main contest, it lost any chance of airplay. If it hadn't been entered in the qualifier, it would have got some airplay. Dionne Warwick later covered the song, which became the title track for one of her albums.
Polly never achieved the consistent success that her talent deserved, but that can be said for a lot of singers and groups. This compilation, including all the tracks I've mentioned, some other brilliant original songs (especially He's my blue eyed boy and Angel) and some great covers (To love somebody, Precious to me, Bewitched), contains the best of Polly's music up to 1980, witch track selection and liner notes by the great lady herself.
