The song that takes you back to your youth.

David Whitfield...I can still remember all the words to 'I remember my September Love'. Funny how words to songs from so long ago are still in the memory banks. Lonny Donegan Cumberland Gap, also Mountain Greenery Home (most silly words) Out of Town. They were all late 50s.

After The Beatles, I think the Hollies were my favourites. I loved Tony Hicks and their great sons - Jennifer Eccles, Bus Stop, He ain't heavy, Stop, stop, stop all the dancing.

Songs not sons!

Sad songs I love:-
Reason To Believe by Rod Stewart
Isn't It A Pity by George Harrison
to name but a few.

Bridge Over Troubled Water. I remember where I was the first time I heard it.
God Only Knows by the Beach Boys which reminds me of my first real love.

Oh wow! Reading all the titles above takes me back, but I think my favourites were the all the Beatles songs and Mommas and Poppas California Dreaming. Bring back flower power.

Go away little girl - - Bobby Vee 1962 - I was in the last year at school and fell in love with a 6th form student - used to go home and tune into Radio Luxembourg and dream of him

First time ever I saw your face too - - Roberta Flack - great song!

Anything by Otis Redding. I cried all night when he died.

December 1963 (Oh, what a night) by The Four Seasons.

Eight days a week - such a happy and joyous song!

Carerof123 Jesamine was the first record I ever bought.

Help - my ex-boyfriend and I danced to this at our 6th Form dance. Happy days.

I really loved "Bobby's Girl" too Daisygirl because I had a big crush on my cousin Robert. Now all these years later I have my own Bobby - my Precious Son Robert!!

I hasten to add that nothing came of my crush - that would be weird - and I haven't seen my cousin since we have grown up.

Silly love songs by wings , that very hot summer of 1976 I left school and was in love , the love was soon over but just hearing that song takes me back to being 16 and all those crazy feelings of first teenage love

Roses I think 'Whiter Shade of Pale' came out in 1967. I have good reason to remember that......but not telling

For those of you pining to be back in the 60s, try the 'You Say You Want a Revolution' at the V&A. For a short while you can time travel! I did.....until I saw this elderly lady coming towards me and realised it was me in a full length mirror! Cruel

Rock around the Clock - 1954 Bill Haley and the Comets. Described as "an anthem for 1950s rebellious youth". Compulsory to listen to jive to it while wearing below the knee rolled up blue jeans, florescent socks (preferably fuschia pink or acid green). Pony tail also compulsory.

Jessamine oh yes, same boyfriend. I was so in love.
Wonder what happened to him. I can still remember his motorbike number plate!

That'll Be The Day by Buddy Holly (still love it)
All I Have To Do Is Dream by the Everly Brothers
Calendar Girl by Neil Sedaka

All take me back to when I was 12/13-ish and life lay before me.

Where oh where have the years gone? My entry class at grammar school is now planning our 60-year reunion next year .... groan!

"Hey Jude" for me too - takes me right back to my teens, feels faintly melancholy but in a nice way, if you know what I mean. Also Elton John "My Song".

Anything by Buddy Holly; Cathy's Clown and Walk Right Back by the Everlys; Vacation by Connie Francis; Like Gulligranny, they take me back to my early teens. My old school group's 60th anniversary is in 2018. Hey Ho!

And Waterloo Sunset

The Seekers "I'll never find another you" and Morningtown Ride (I used this with my class to sing their tables when learning to say them by rote was banned)

The album "Bookends" by Simon and Garfunkel. My best friends' older brother bought a copy and when he went out, we would sneak into his room to listen to it on his Dansette record player. I have been a fan of S@G ever since.
The icing on the cake though was watching 'Department S' on his black and white TV afterwards. Oh how we ADORED Jason King, so suave, so sophisticated, and as I realised after seeing clips from the series online,many years later, so blooming thin and camper than a row of tents at Glastonbury !!!!!!!
What did we ever see in him I now wonder ?
Oh well, at the time he was our absolute dream guy.
Happy Days.?
