Imagine that we have a new sparkly GN jukebox......free of charge, what records to choose and why? Do you just love a certain old record or does it bring back lovely memories?tchsmile

Why haven’t HQ given us Christmas emojis this year?
If anyone wants to use then just add tch in front of smile/ grin
Shock/ wink/ envy etc.

Ooh, Baker St. That sax intro makes the scalp tingle!Wonderful record.
Calistemon am disappointed that you don’t like my choice of 50’s records, how can anyone not enjoy Hoots Mon???
If feeling cheery, one record that brings me down to instant depression is The Long And Winding Road sung by Paul McCartney....this has to be the dreariest song ever made.If anyone wants it on the jukebox will they give prior warning so that I can get out of the door.Thanks.
Now, my choice this morning is:
Angel ( Robbie Williams)
Get Back ( Beatles)
Stop The Cavalry and Silent Night (as it’s almost Christmas)
tchsmile

Baker Street....when I met DH.

Any Nat King Cole song but if I had to pick just one then it would be Autumn leaves.

I'd like a good dance so it's go to be:
Nutbush City Limits - Tina Turner
Brown Sugar - Rolling Stones
I feel Love - Donna Summer

Then I'll have a sit down to:
Scarborough Fair - Simon & Garfunkel
Forever Autumn - Justin Hayward
Nights in White Satin - Moody Blues
(but really Justin Hayward again)
(perfect song, perfect voice, perfect face)

Just found a pile of 50’s records at the back of the jukebox...
Will start with Who’s Sorry Now ( you’ve had your way...now you must pay!)?
Followed by Little White Bull ( who shouted ‘NO! Don’t put that on’?
Then, Hoots Mon!

I could so many but firstly
Walker Brothers Make It Easy On Yourself so reminds me of Sunday mornings in the car with dad going to the dairy for some fresh cream so mum could make fresh cream horns with her homemade strawberry jam to take on a picnic in the afternoon
Afternoon Delight Starland vocal band used to play when I had to fight when I was seriously ill when I was 11 dad was nursing me
Hotel California long hot afternoons when I was a teenager sunbathing in the afternoons

You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling followed by Unchained Melody, then Anyone Who Has A Heart.....a melancholy few records to listen to as I sip a large sherry.

Calistemon what about Johnnie Ray ?

My cousin's then a girlfriend (now wife of 50+ years) loved Johnnie Ray!
I didn't (I was very young)

That was to MeeylStreep

I'm sure no-one else wants to listen to songs from the 1930s and 40s, Al Martino, Perry Como etc.

I love songs from the 30’ & 40’s Calistemon

Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Fats Domino etc .

I was brought up on them, Anniebach!
And the rather daft songs like You're a Pink Toothbrush by Max Bygraves grin
Nellie the Elephant by Mandy Miller
Does Your Chewing Gum Lose its Flavour by Lonnie Donegan

Then along came Bill Hailey, Elvis Presley

I loved the song and didn't think of it in the way it seems to be perceived now.

Young Girl by Union Gap. I was a young girl then......sigh

You are very brave posting ‘Young Girl’ as it is not considered at all PC nowadays.

I’m with you though, great song, not perceived at all sleazy back in the late 60’s when it was a hit.

Ah, memories! Songs and pieces of music are so evocative of a certain time and place aren’t they?

My next record is Stranger On The Shore by Acker Bilk, I used to have his autograph ( do people still have autograph books?)
A lovely and rather melancholy piece.It’s given me the idea of buying a cd of his music now.

I am a girl from the 60’s having been in the Small Faces fan club. Also I cannot listen to Waterloo sunset by the Kinks without wanting to cry. My first boyfriend bought me that record, we split up and he married someone else. He was lovely but we were both too young.
