You would think that Barbara Windsor had herself covered when she had done Eastenders and the Carry On films back in the early days but music was an area she also wanted to cover.
In 1994 she released a 14 track album featuring duets with Joe Longthorne, Mike Reid and Steve McFadden called You've Got A Friend.
She was born Barbara Ann Deeks on 6th August 1937. In drama school, Barbara excelled and won her 1st acting role at 12 where she played one of the babes in a pantomime. The years that followed took Barbara to the stage but in 1962, she won two major roles in films which really brought her recognition, 'Death Trap' and 'Sparrow Can't Sing'. She would sing and dance as a child.
Her voice is very high, a sort of countryish tone to it but I don't think she does justice to most of the songs on her album. The title track is better sung by the Brand New Heavies. I think it would be best that she sticks to acting as Carry On has made her a household name and she has now taken ill so taken time off from her role in Eastenders.
