NEW SINGLE - 'A PICTURE OF YOU', RELEASED AUGUST 14TH - 03/08/2020
When it comes to choosing a perfect summer single, where better to turn to than one of the most fun decades in music history...the sixties!
And that's exactly what DONIE O has done in deciding to record and release his version of the Joe Brown hit, A PICTURE OF YOU. And like so much about the famous 'swinging sixties', it's even got a connection to Liverpool's fab four, the Beatles! This track will also be the first taster of what's to come from DONIE O's brand new album, his second long-player, which he's already in studio working away on.
A PICTURE OF YOU, written by John Beveridge and Peter Oakman, became a #2 hit for Joe Brown in the summer of 1962, spending an impressive 19 weeks on the charts, 9 of which saw the song make the Top 5 its home. It also became the 13th best-selling single in the UK that year, with Joe Brown also making it the title-track of his debut album.
Interestingly, given that success, the song was actually released as the B-Side to a tune entitled A Lay-About's Lament. But so popular was A PICTURE OF YOU, that the Beatles even covered it, performing it on the BBC Radio show Teenager's Turn in June of 1962. And as we think you'll hear, DONIE O is sure to give the song a whole new lease of life as he lends the tune his own trademark sense of joie de vivre!
A PICTURE OF YOU is available on ALL platforms from AUGUST 14TH...

HAPPY ST. VALENTINE'S DAY FROM DONIE! - 14/03/2020
You can almost imagine the Eiffel Tower itself swaying along in the background as a beret-clad DONIE O delivers this laid-back version of Maurice Jarre's biggest hit, the gorgeously romantic SOMEWHERE MY LOVE...and in perfect time for St. Valentine's Day, too!
Frenchman Jarre is recognised as one of the giants of 20th century film music, having been nominated for no less than nine Academy Awards and winning three for Best Original Score. Those victories came for Lawrence of Arabia in 1962, for Doctor Zhivago in 1965, and for A Passage To India in 1984. Jarre also composed the score for what would become one of the classic heartbreaking, tear-jerkers of all time, Ghost in 1990. When released by Jarre in 1966, SOMEWHERE MY LOVE reached a high of #14 and spent an impressive 38 weeks on the charts.
SOMEWHERE MY LOVE is the third track taken from Donie O's 2019 debut collection, Dreaming My Dreams. Following the feel-good, party-time vibes of fan favourites the Yellow Ribbon Medley and Pretend, this song is the perfect showcase for Donie O's softer, more debonair side.
Not just the perfect song to set the mood for St. Valentine's Day then, but to make lovers swoon all year around.
NEW SINGLE, 'PRETEND', AT COUNTRY RADIO NOW! - 18/12/2020

The single will also be available from all digital platforms in the coming weeks.
