Sir Bruce Forsyth: 8 little-known facts about his career

Quote:Some were novelty songs related to his TV career - like 1959's I'm In Charge, named after his Sunday Night at the London Palladium catchphrase.
There were other jolly pop songs, and in 1968 he sung the odd patriotic ditty I'm Backing Britain, the anthem of a campaign to boost the economy by urging workers to work an extra half an hour a day for free.
And he appeared on Top of the Pops in 1975 performing Barry Manilow's Sandra, with lyrics that now sound horribly sexist, beginning: "She's a great little housewife/Though sometimes she talks like a fool."
They're right on that, at least, probably the only part of his career that hasn't been looked over repeatedly already.
Plus, good starts for the "Obscure songs from the 50s/60s/70s etc" threads Tongue

EDIT - Here's I'm Backing Britain:

If you've always wanted a song that name-checks Inverness and Surbiton, it's your lucky day.

Watched the Bruce Forsyth story on Channel 5 last night pretty much summed him up for me the only link left alive for Saturday TV viewing from his era would be Parky.
Did he ever win a lifetime BAFTA Award? If not then they (BAFTA) should pretty much posthumously award him one immediately.

I remember this one well (from 2011), he brings up possible retirement (around the 2min mark):
