a song from the past

"Beach Baby" was running through my head all last week, remembering the year I got my first car and took my A levels at the local tech - lots of freedom after years cooped up at the local girls grammar school.

David Whitfield, Kim19. Gosh that takes me back!
"Cara Mia Mine" I think...
I loved Donovan.... Jennifer Juniper, Mellow Yellow, etc...

Music has always made me so nostalgic, so I now have Spotify on my iPad and have downloaded many songs from my past. I just love listening to them and it often helps me sleep at night played very low and reminiscing on happy days from long ago.

Paul didn't appear in just any old pub, he was back at the Cavern Club.
I didn't bother trying for tickets, my Cavern days are well and truly over!
I still love Paul to bits though!
I was in my mid teens in the early seventies, so David Cassidy was one of my heartthrobs, the other was Alice Cooper!

Twelfth of Never has me in fairyland at the very thought. Magic time of my life. Perhaps should redress the balance by admitting that I loved a guy called David Whitfield. Even my Granny despaired of me over that. Such a square in some arenas!

Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum reminds me of my last year at School, we had a Disco every Friday Lunchtime in our last term, I left in 1972 on my 17th Birthday.

Lots of other tunes bring back memories, I love listening to 60s music & early 70s

Ah yes Matelda. Corfu in 1966 before they’d even built the airport..Greek Gregory and I wrote for four years...I wonder where he is now. Sigh!

'Pretty Flamingo'. Oh, those opening bars. Gets me every time.

The Stones concert in Hyde Park...no, I saw them closer to home in the Assembly Hall in Tunbridge Wells! That was definitely a long time ago!

Summer Holiday was my inspiration! I walked to save my bus fares and put all my loose coins in a jamjar until I was 18 and had £100 saved for a student tour of Greece in the summer of love, 1967. I sat in the dark by the Acropolis talking revolution with a German who assured me he was "on the run" and dug up pieces of ancient tile on the beach near Knossos. I can't ever go back to Greece - what a magical time it all was.

I watched the James Corden carpool karaoke with Paul McCartney recently and it had me in tears - I loved the Beatles and Paul was my favourite. Like others have said it took me back to those carefree days being a lovesick teenager - life was so simple then! How I would have loved to have been in that pub in Liverpool where he did a surprise appearance! My bedroom wall also used to be plastered with posters of Steve Ellis from Love Affair (Everlasting Love). Happy days.

Groovin by the Young Rascals? takes me right back to heavenly, sunny summer days when we were all young and lovely

Love Johnnie Walker on a Sunday have listen for years and he takes me back to the 70s also Tony Blackburn
Great music to dance to

When working night duty and sleeping in the nurses home, My friend in the room next door used to wake me up at 6pm playing Cliff Richard singing Summer Holiday. Oh to be a twenty year old again.

What a great thread, brings back so many memories.☺️

Ever since reading the OP, I`ve had Jesamine going through my head, I loved it back when, and I still love it, always used to turn the radio up full blast when it came on.

I'm not in love by 10cc always reminds me of horribly uncomfortable shuffles around the floor with someone at the school disco..

So do you keep playing it again, Daddima?

Oh how lovely!
What a marvellous thing, unless his jacket was horrible smelling?

I was doing a bit of smoochy dancing at a party with a fellow I had fancied for a while, to ‘Ruby Tuesday’. We sneaked outside to do some proper kissing, and now, every time I hear it, I can recall the smell of his tweed jacket!

I rather like jethro tull, although I think they're a bit before my time?
I think I'm a latecomer to their music.

I wish lemon!

Chewy is nobbut a lass kitty

I always liked Jethro Tull, they were a great band, but the really evocative song of the 60’s for me was A Whiter Shade Of Pale and Like A Rolling Stone.....takes me right back to
‘Groovy Baby’ days.

I'm probably just older than you chewbacca!

You're quite right kitty,
