“When I was first invited to London to make some demos, one of them turned out to be our very first hit record together – ‘Lost in France’.
“It was written by Steve Wolfe and Ronnie Scott, and produced by David Mackay, who I’m happily still working with to this day.”
She added: “God bless you Steve, rest in peace.”
His writing credits also include the UK’s 1972 Eurovision Song Contest entry Beg, Steal or Borrow, performed by The New Seekers. It finished in second place.
