Bernadettee Robinson could sing before she could talk. The daughter of a GP and a nurse in Dandenong, Australia, she was the fourth of seven children.
It was a childhood filled with music – she remembers singing along to shows like Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music, and with singers like Patsy Cline, Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland.
At three, she could sing Dame Shirley Bassey’s and she’d dress up in her mother’s nighties and high heels.
