In the 70s there used to be an advertisement for Knight’s Castile soap. The

jingle was sung by Cleo Laine:

Knight’s Castile is a bird in flight-

Shimmering, golden and the price is right-

Doo-wah-doo-wah-doo-wah-doo-wah-doo-way!

(Cue for husky falsetto mimicry)

Feels like it today, but not so exciting here under lockdown.

He was with us as a 19 year old student.
