'Who am I?'

Carol puzzles over the Barney Sloan 'Who am I?' question.

“My husband’s answer is Paul Anka!” says Carol in Derry.

It's an answer to the Barney Sloan "Who am I?" question.

“Oh, yes!” Sean says. “It's your husband's answer! Nothing to do you with you if it’s wrong!”

The question in full is, "Who am I? I was born outside Europe and USA in 1936, I sang under my birth name, but a name change in the 60s saw my career rocket. I wanted to record Strangers in the Night, but was told it was earmarked for Frank Sinatra. In a successful career, I had two UK number one singles.”

The answer is not Paul Anka.

With music from Status Quo, Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs, Rod Stewart, and more.
