   > Hello!Well, I've tried everything else, so let's go to the experts on this   
   list. I've been hunting for the artist/title of this song for my mother for a   
   long time now, and to no avail. She has a snippet of it on a cassette tape and   
   every time it would    
   play, she'd wonder who it was. She swore it was Annie Lennox, but after   
   extensively searching her songs online, it doesn't seem to be. Mom even claims   
   it was on MuchMusic, and the female singer had short blonde hair (might've   
   looked like Lennox, too),    
   but she never caught the name or artist. What I do have is the chorus, so if   
   anyone knows this song, I will be forever grateful. The song may have been   
   released around the late 80's/early 90's, but sounds a lot like a mid-60's   
   Dusty Springfield ballad (   
   yes, I tried her, too).CHORUS Diamonds and pearlsWon't you send meAll of the   
   world Wrapped in ribbons(Placed?) in my handsFlowers at my doorstep I turned   
   down the loveI didn't understand...Any search under "Diamonds and Pearls" just   
   gets me Prince,    
   Kansas and a few others that aren't it. I'm pretty sure the title comes from a   
   lyric in one of the verses I don't have. Good luck, folks... I look forward to   
   hearing from you! I'll try my best to help others out, too; I'm good with   
   music from the mid-50'   
   s to the late 90's.Thanks a lot! Dal
