“Hi Peggy,
Here’s a short message from Amsterdam.
On ‘You Tube’ there’s fortunately a lot of material of Shirley. I noticed a very beautiful song (Sometimes, from the film ‘Champions’) sung by Shirley in 1984.
I understood that her recording once was issued on a single at that time. It’s a pity that this song is not included on a CD so far. Well, maybe I will succeed to get it (second hand), because the sound quality of the clip on You Tube is unfortunately not top.
Anyway, every day I visit your site: fantastic. Last June I was at Wembley’s - a special trip from my hometown to hear and see Shirley. A great show (as always). Let’s hope there will be a follow up!
Regards, Berend.”
Thanks for writing, Berend. I hope a friendly fan will be able to get a copy for you.

Sometimes
Music written by Carl Davis, Lyrics by Norman Newell
Released in 1984 on a soundtrack single with “He Needs Me” on the B-side.
This song has never been released on CD.
This song is the original theme of the British 1984 movie Champions.
The composer is Carl Davis who conducted the London Symphony Orchestra for Shirley’s album I Am What I Am.
Don’t confuse this song with the other song Sometimes from 1977.

Champions Movie Review
By Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
John Hurt plays the British jockey Bob Champion in this true story of how Champion overcame cancer and the rigors of chemotherapy for an impressive personal and professional comeback.
Just as Champion is in the middle of a vacation in Kentucky, he finds out he has cancer, and, like others before him, submits to the full, painful treatments of multiple injections and radiation, suffering as much or more from the cure as from the illness (these treatments are graphic).
Gaunt and nauseous, Champion also endures realistic meetings with his doctors that hold forth no guarantee of a cure. His eventual remission leads to yet another gruelling physical schedule to get him back into shape for the Grand National Steeplechase - a 30-fence, well-publicized race that offers difficult hurdles for both the horses and their jockeys. 1981 he wins the race on the horse Aldaniti.

Lyrics
Sometimes when things go wrong
We try to understand
Why the world stops turning
And takes away the things we planned
And sometimes we walk alone
No one appears to care
Sometimes we long for someone
To be the answer to every prayer
I saw you I knew I’d waited for you
To find all the dreams that lost their way
Who knows if we will win, God knows we won’t give in
There is no yesterday now
There’s just today now
To find my way with you
Some say that miracles never happen
But now I know they happen
When love comes along to show the way
Who knows if we will win
God knows we won’t give in
There is no yesterday now
There’s just today now
To find my way With you
