Just a Dream Away is featured on the film McVicar,starring Adam Faith and RogerDaltry. The opening song is also a fabulous Russ composition called Free Me. That was also recorded by Roger Daltrey. Really enjoying the show Edward, but this Wolverhampton girl expected a Brummie accent! You should find McVicar on YouTube.
