TIFFANY #1
We kick off today in 1965 with a Tiffany whose real name was Irene Green. She was briefly the lead singer of Scouse girl group The Liverbirds (no relation to Nerys Hughes and Polly James), who claim to be Britain's First Female Rock Band (inspired, apparently by John Lennon telling them "girls can't play guitars"). After leaving the 'Birds, Irene formed her own band, Tiffany's Dimensions, and released the odd solo track too...
TIFFANY #2
Can't find much about this one other than that it's from 1971 and it's waaaaaay down the discogs listings. Nice enough tune though.
TIFFANIE #3
En Francais, pour le 1973 (guess who didn't do French for long at school).
Tiffanie - Tout, Tout, Tout...
TIFFANY #4
German heavy rock Tiffany from some time in the 70s... nobody's quite sure when, including the band themselves.
TIFFANY #5
Over to Amsterdam for our next Tiffany, a three piece soul outfit mostly comprising Saskia Van Enk, Maritza Vos and Stanley Sedney. They appear to have a few hits or almost-hits on the Dutch chart in the late 70s and early 80s...
TIFFANY #6
Japanese Kayōkyoku pop group from 1977...
TIFFANY #7
TIFFANY #8
I will confess to buying a copy of Tiffany Renee Darwish's Number One cover of I Think We're Alone Now in 1987. In my defence, I was 15 at the time, so my critical faculties weren't fully formed, and I wasn't aware of either the original version by Tommy James & The Shondells... or the best version by The Rubinoos. If I'd been born 15 years later, I'd probably have bought a copy of this version... it's a great song, whenever you first hear it.
Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now
This Tiffany had a few more hits and is still singing today, though the high point of her career surely came as an actress when she appeared in Mega Piranha and Mega Python vs. Gatoroid. True class.
TIFFANY #9
A bunch of blokes made up the Swedish Tiffany in the early 90s... originally known as Tencider, which you probably need to drink before listening to this...
Tiffany - När Vi Två Är Tillsammans (When We Are Together)
TIFFANY #10
Originally a member of Italian girl group Lollipop in the early noughties, Roberta Ruiu later recorded the vocal for this soulful 2004 offering from Hotel Saint George... under the name Tiffany.
Hotel Saint George feat. Tiffany - You Can Trust In Me
I wish that was a cover of the Jungle Book song by Ka The Constrictor, but sadly it's not.
TIFFANY #11
Noisy Greek indie rock from just last year...
TIFFANY #12
And finally - stretching the rules a little here, but this might be the classiest thing I've heard today, so George is just going to have to live with it. And it's only a few months young to boot!
Tiffany & The Nightbirds - Whatever Lola Wants
Which Tiffany would you happily go to breakfast with... and which would make you cough up your Weetabix?
