While listening to K-Love 80s I was reminded of the Christian singer Leslie Phillips.
As a young believer in the late 80s her albums 'Dancing with Danger' and 'Black and White in a Grey World' were much played by myself. I almost wore out the cassette tapes.
I see Leslie had 4 Christian albums before changing her name to her nickname of Sam, and went more mainstream.

I've always been a fan of #LesliePhillips since I was a child. Not just a great comic actor, but was excellent in drama too. I highly recommend Venus to anyone who's not seen it.

Politician Peter Reith's death led the ABC news this morning but, of course, no mention of Nazareth vocalist Dan McCafferty or iconic Englishman Leslie Phillips. My priorities would have been different.

Sad to see Leslie Phillips has died overnight. One of the last comedy character actors from the heyday of British comedy films, though as the article says his totally non-comedic portrayal of Astor in Scandal was sublime.
