Saturday Night and Sunday Morning - Britmovie

Hope i'm doing this in the correct place- i'm new see? What it was ,was this. I am a fan of the british new wave i suppose you'd call it and SNSM is up there with the best.The music, I know, is Johnny Dankworth but it's the music playing in the fairground scene i'm interested in.It plays, I think when they( Arthur and Brenda) are going off together on a waltzer ride or something and it must be a genuine popular recording of the time.It is a woman and she sings '..let's slip a-way..' and I would love to know the song and the artiste.Any ideas? I don't know why these things are so important but they are. Help please. BTW while on the subj of albert finney, have you seen two for the road with audrey hepburn? Bad doesn't come close. When AF is good he's v.good but I think there was definitely a period when he was going thru the motions.

This is the first time I have answered a query.
The song is called Let's Slip Away, and as music is by Johnny Dankworth it's probably sung by Cleo Laine.

Didn't this song feature in "A Taste of Honey" also during a fairground scene in Blackpool?

Yes Let's Slip Away is sung by Cleo Laine. I like that song by Cleo Laine. She also sang Thieving Boy which is sung towards the end of the 1960 Stanley Baker film The Criminal. I'm sure she also sang the song All Gone from The Servant (1963)

I saw Mr Dankworth and Cleo Laine perform at Chichester just a few months back. Her voice was remarkable for her age and as a droll raconteur he reminded me of the late (and great) Humphrey Lyttleton.
