Music from times past

Talk about the past. Also loved Summer Place and Troy Donaghue. I had my mum knit a red jumper for my then boyfriend now DH to look like Troy. Also loved Pat Boone's April Love

Thank you Suki 70 I will try and get it on the T V catch up

Thankyou for all these lovely memories.
I saw Cream at the students’ union and when they’d finished playing Ginger Baker just got off the stage, walked the length of the hall to get a drink and nobody batted an eyelid!!

Orelse ‘Like I Do’ was sung by Maureen Evans.
I immediately broke into song and remembered all the words ?

Where Are You Now My Love, by Jackie Trent, was the theme music for a weekly thriller serial on TV, but I can`t remember what it was called. It was a lovely, haunting record.

Lulu, To Sir With Love. Helen Shapiro, Walking Back To Happiness. The best time of all seeing The Temptations at The Talk Of The Town in London. I have just bought Elvis, Cilla Black, The Beach Boys all playing with the London philamonic Orchestra sounds really good as I am driveing along in my car.

tollgate1 The Age of Aquarius with 5th Dimension has just been on the TV prog I mentioned above. They've moved on to more recent years now.

My Mum and Dad loved Frank Sinatra

And does any one remember The age of Aquarius by 5th dimension ...the local youth club had it as one its favourite records happy days

Lots of 60's and 70's music on TV at the moment - Easy Listening at the BBC - BBC4. Lots of memories too.

We had 2 LP's. One of them was Pete Seeger, one Julie Felix.

The same 2 over and over again.

'Where are you now, my love?' was by Jackie Trent-a good song-they are all on youtube.

I used to ask my mum to queue outside the record shop, while I was at school, to get me the latest Beatles single on the day of its release and I hadn't even heard it yet but knew it would be good.

Also, I remember every Saturday sitting in front of the tv waiting for my favourite program to come on- 'Here they come, walking down the street....hey, hey we're the Monkees'. It always brings back memories- the first group I saw- I went to Wembley, aged 14/15 by myself. I booked the ticket through the Fabulous magazine and it cost £1, including coach from Birmingham. Once I'd been cheeky and was banned from watching an episode by my dad and I just sat in front of the blank screen for the length of the program, sullen faced, to make a point!!!!

Sunday night, very late, Radio Luxembourg had the top twenty counting down from no. 20. I don't think I ever heard numbers 10 to no.1 - I was always asleep by then!

Anyone remember " like I Do" don't know who by and "where are you now my love " .. they used to be on family favourites with " you don't know me " I was very small but somehow remember these! . . I loved walker Brothers, Manhattan Transfer ,mammas & papas , Georgie Fame , the Peddlers ,, Beachboys, Beatles, but still love Opera !?? ..... an of course George Michael

I too love the Theme from A Summer Place. When my daughter got married in New York, there was a DJ playing music as we entered for the reception. I thought that there was a lovely selection of tunes but it was only when I heard her playing the Theme From A Summer Place, that I realised that my daughter had given her a list of all my favourite tunes. I was deeply touched! Incidentally, I would love to see the film of A Summer Place again, but it never seems to pop up on TV. I have tried to buy it online, but they only ever have the US version, which doesn't work over here. It was a lovely, romantic film and starred Sandra Dee, who was about the same age as me, so I empathised with her character. Films in those days had really lovely theme music, which still sends shivers down my spine when I hear them and it takes me back to the days of my youth!

I am pretty sure Joe Dolan hit the UK charts with make me an island and good looking woman Nanah67

I`m pleased not to be alone in remembering Joe Dolan.
As for David Whitfield, he was my mother`s all time favourite, and I quite liked him until he got in the news for bad behaviour in a public toilet, went right off him then.

Whenever I hear Waterloo Sunset it reminds me of my late
teens and early twenties when I lived and worked in London. I used to love walking by the Thames.

gosh its ages since i've heard theme from a summer place. used to listen to all those lovely tunes on a sunday afternoon. also used to love Rock Follies- great music. remember listening to radio luxemburg in bed, especially music from richard barnes, who was very dishy. its great that m&s new ad is using fleetwood macs albatross.

Framilode - I too sneaked in to see A Summer Place, with the wonderful Sandra Dee and Troy Donahue. They kissed passionately in a hut by the crashing ocean and very soon afterwards declared that she was pregnant. I was absolutely convinced, for a long time, that a kiss could produce offspring!

When I left school I took up judo, which had just arrived in this country. I quickly became quite proficient, and was asked to take a class at our local youth club.

Cliff Richards had just had his first hit with "Move It", and it was played constantly while I was teaching. Whenever I hear it now it reminds me of bodies crashing onto the mat, and the feeling of being young, fit and active.

It's very true that you "don't know what you've got, 'til it's gone!"

'Sailor' by Pet Clark reminds me of my Dad as he was in the navy. We played it at his funeral.

I love music. Almost all. Fav band is The Stones, closely followed by Beatles, Squeeze, INXS, Crowded House and anything that is reggae, ska, blues, soul, Tamela.

Long live our music. It feeds the soul.

Anything by Louis Armstrong reminds me of my dad.
Hearing The Beachboys and The Eagles reminds me of a hot midsummer day at the old Wembley stadium - headliner was Elton John (who I was disappointed in!) the other 2 bands were support acts, along with Chaka Khan.
Laughter in the Rain by Neil Sedaka makes me think of my first serious boyfriend
Honey by Bobby Goldsboro and Seasons in the Sun always reminds me of a long summer holiday and anything by David Cassidy (Happy Birthday David for today) reminds me of a trip to London when I was 15 to see him in concert ! I could go on with more ...........!!!!

No doubt about my favourites: The Beatles and Manfred Mann! I always thought both Paul McCartney and Paul Jones absolutely gorgeous!

We have builders here at the moment. Wandered through my sitting room yesterday just as they had Spirit in the sky playing on their radio. Found myself showing them how we 'skinheads' used to do a dance to it (step forward, cross leg over, step back, side to side twice then repeat). Then found myself explaining and demonstrating, how the 'greasers' used to do their dance to it (hands on hips swaying from side to side).

Think they've recovered work seems to have speeded up since Let me out of here
