Hiya CF :)

hey, no limits, and a lot of great songs here that I recognise but I'll stick to the Brits!

#6 Devil Woman - Cliff Richard
#7 When I Need You - Leo Sayer
#31 Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton
#38 (Come Back And) Stay For Good - Paul Young

plus I do know #32 is another Brit but, as I've said before, I'm afraid I really can't stand his voice so I'm not going to name it!
