[Blondini]

That Engelbert release features a duet with Janet Devlin on Can't Help Falling In Love. Musically it's OK but did nobody consider the gigantic age gap??

[Graham76man]

Tony they are singing a song, not having sex! And even if they were nobody should care. Will Shakespeare at around Janet's age wrote the sonnets to Queen Elizabeth and she was over 60. Of course she wrote back in the same sonnets, which has caused massive chaos about the Sonnets ever since. But as he said love doesn't care if you are 20 and the other person is three times that. Love does not discriminate on anything.
