Anne appeared as a guest on at least one of Perry's annual Christmas television specials and she has the rare distinction of having recorded Perry's 1957 hit song "Round and Round" which is something few recording artists have tried to do. Perry's sensitive and comfortable handling of this song proves once again his ability to take other artists hits as virtually his own.
