Twinkle
Lynn Annette Ripley, known professionally as Twinkle, is an English
singer-songwriter born on July 15, 1948, in Surbiton, Surrey. She began her
music career at 16 when her boyfriend Dec Cluskey introduced her to his manager
with a demo recording. Her first single "Terry", released in 1964, reached
number 4 on the UK charts but faced controversy and a BBC ban due to its theme.
The follow-up single "Golden Lights" also charted at number 21. Twinkle's early
career included notable songs like "A Lonely Singing Doll", an English-language
version of France Gall’s Eurovision Song Contes...
