Fico o primeiro a escrever neste post. Grande tema da dupla T/L. Fazia parte do filme sobre o caso Perfumo ou Porfumo. Logo no início refere que o Please Please Me Estava esm primeiro lugar nos tops.

Gosto muito deste tema

Mas também gosto do dueto "What have I done to deserve this" e do "In Private"

No wikipedia fiquei a saber que a senhora se chamava Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien

"Nothing Has Been Proved" is a song and a single release by British singer Dusty Springfield, produced by the Pet Shop Boys. The song was the second collaboration between Springfield and Pet Shop Boys, following their UK #2 and US #2 hit duet "What Have I Done To Deserve This?" in 1987.

"Nothing Has Been Proved" prominently features an orchestral arrangement by Angelo Badalamenti and a tenor saxophone solo by Courtney Pine.

"Nothing Has Been Proved" was composed for the 1989 film Scandal, an account of the so called Profumo Affair, a British public scandal in 1963 which profoundly affected the ruling Conservative Party government. The lyrics of the song describe the actual course of the events and mention the main characters involved; Mandy Rice-Davies, Christine Keeler and Stephen Ward.

The song also includes the line "Please Please Me's number one", a reference to The Beatles' charttopping debut single released in January of 1963.

"Nothing Has Been Proved", was later included as a track on Springfield's successful comeback album Reputation, released in 1990.

"Nothing Has Been Proved" made #16 in the UK and led to further chart success for Springfield.
