Unlike many record stars whose singing career had peaked during the 1940s and 1950s, when Dorothy Squires made a surprise chart comeback with 'Say It With Flowers' in 1961 - she still had a further two decades of hit records, TV appearances and sell-out concerts to look forward to. There was unfortunately much sadness in her life too during those years - an acrimonious break up of her marriage to actor, Roger Moore, a fire which destroyed her home, battles with drink, court cases over various issues and eventually bankruptcy. Dorothy, however, was nothing if not a trouper - and her loyal fan base ensured that she would continue to perform until old age and illness took its toll. She died in 1998 aged 83. Let's not overlook the contribution that Russ Conway made to the success of 'Say It With Flowers' with his tasteful piano accompaniment to Dorothy's vocal, on both the original hit record and this TV appearance.
