Twinkle: Golden Lights (1965)


Twinkle (born Lynn Annette Ripley, 15 July 1947, Surbiton, England) is an English singer-songwriter, primarily in the 1960s. Twinkle's most famous songs were "Terry" and "Golden Lights". Twinkle owed her rapid entry into the recording studio to her then-boyfriend, Dec Cluskey, of the popular vocal group The Bachelors, who passed on her demo to his manager. Only 16 at the time, her first single "Terry" (released in 1964) reached #4 on the UK charts. Her follow up recording "Golden Lights" (UK #21) was written about her by Cluskey, by then her ex-boyfriend.
