description: "Peter Skellern was an English singer-songwriter and pianist who rose to fame in the 1970s. He had two top twenty hits on the UK Singles Chart – \"You're a Lady\" (1972), which typifies his signature use of brass bands and choral arrangements for a nostalgic and romantic feel, and \"Hold On to Love\" (1975). In the 1980s, Skellern formed the band Oasis with Julian Lloyd Webber and Mary Hopkin and established a musical comedy partnership with Richard Stilgoe in cabaret."
