HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "spouse" is not recognized
Mari Macmillan Ramsay Wilson (born 29 September 1954, in Neasden, London) is an English singer. She is best known for her 1982 UK top-10 hit single "Just What I Always Wanted" and her 1960s image complete with beehive hairstyle.
Recording on the Compact Records label with her backing band The Wilsations, Wilson scored six UK Top 100 singles between 1982-84. Her biggest hit "Just What I Always Wanted" reached number 8 in 1982.
In 1983, she scored a second Top 40 hit with a cover of "Cry Me a River" (UK #27) and released her debut album Showpeople (UK #24). After this, further commercial success eluded her, though, in 1985, she performed the song "Would You Dance with a Stranger" (theme for the film Dance With a Stranger), and turned her career towards live performances. Although for a while she distanced herself from her beehive days, she started touring with her old songs again in 2007.
In 1992, the album The Rhythm Romance, which combined jazz standards with 1960s songs and original material, failed to return her to the charts. She continued performing with jazz bands, and sang the theme song to the TV sitcom Coupling ("Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps"). Her version of "Cry Me a River" was featured in the 1990s crime drama series McCallum.
You won't admit you love me.
And so how am I ever to know? You always tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. A million times I ask you, And then I ask you over again.
You only answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. If you can't make your mind up, We'll never get started.
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted.
So if you really love me, Say yes.
But if you don't, dear, confess.
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. If you can't make your mind up, We'll never get started.
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted.
So if you really love me, Say yes.
But if you don't, dear, confess.
And please don't tell me
