When Martin Lane became ill, the Singers needed a replacement. There weren't any suitable countertenors available (Nigel Perrin wouldn't be leaving King's College until the following summer), so they asked their old friend, Felicity Palmer to be the top voice for a time. Her soprano instantly expanded the possible repertoire."Bearing in mind how famous she has become, we recall a little wryly a BBC World Service recording we made in 1969, which included Felicity singing such noble arias as In the Mood and You're Getting to be a Habit with Me."
