Bugger. Crossed musical genres with ease and was the soundtrack of many late nights with the missus and a bottle of single malt.

In 1958, she married John Dankworth. The couple had two children together. They were married until his death in 2010. On that day, Laine performed at a concert at The Stables to mark the venue's 40th anniversary. She then announced Dankworth's death at the end of the show.
