Okay, I thought this deserved it's own topic (again) without derailing any other threads.
February 12 1970
-Paul had been working on his own solo album since the end of 1969, using a Studer four-track at his home in Cavendish Avenue. He tested the machine by recording 'The Lovely Linda', then recorded 'That Would Be Something', 'Valentine Day', 'Momma Miss America (Rock'n'Roll Springtime)', 'Glasses', 'Oo You', 'Teddy Boy', 'Junk' and an instrumental of the same tune called 'Singalong Junk'. He had to make guessed about the levels because the machine had no properly functioning VU meters so he continued work at Morgan Studios, booking himself in under the name Billy Martin. There he cut 'Hot As Sun' and, on this day, "Kreen-Akore'. He went on to make eight-track copies of his four-track masters so that he could overdub onto them.
Februrary 2, 1970
-Abbey Road. Paul's McCartney sessions. Once again booked in as Billy Martin, Paul began mixing his eight-track masters.
Then turning to Google, I found this...

CILLA BLACK
Priscilla Maria Veronica White from Liverpool born in 1943 and was a cloakroom attendant at the Cavern who used to spend time singing along with some of the bands there. She was signed in the wake of the “sign anyone from Liverpool” boom and carved a lifelong career on show business, which included acting, and as a TV presenter on TV shows like “Surprise Surprise” and “Blind Date”. Brian Epstein managed her initially then she was managed by her husband Bobby Willis who also wrote most of her b sides. He died in the 90s. Never the world’s greatest vocalist, but Cilla had bags of personality, which has made her a star still on top after 40 years.
13 SURROUND YOURSELF WITH SORROW 2.32 / London Bridge PARLOPHONE
Writers : Bill Martin / Phil Coulter Producer : George Martin
Entered 19 February 1969 for 10 weeks. Chart Action ;
23 – 16 - 5 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 – 15 – 20 – 26
Sandie was born Sandra Ann Goodrich in Dagenham in Kent in 1947.
She is one of the few pop heroes from the 60s who has produced a good readable autobiography, “The World At My Feet” which is worth seeking out.
She was “discovered” by Adam Faith and her trademark was to sing barefoot which apparently was Mickie Most's idea and he was going to use it as a gimmick for Tony Sheridan - but he didn’t like the idea. Never the greatest singer in the world, she still managed 3 number one hits.

Notice that this Bill Martin attempted to do a version of Blackbird in real-time.
