Which are your favourite records from your younger years?

Tell Laura I love her and It might as well rain until September but my real favourite Del Shannon's Runaway.

I've just heard I Feel Love on the X Factor

I loved Donna Summer

My dad was a great fan of the wireless, we didn't have TV till mid sixties. I remember as a very young child listening to Little White Bull by Tommy Steele, What did Della Wear by Perry Como, 76 Trombones led the big Parade, Lay down your head Tom Dooley, Pretty Little Black Eyed Susie, She wears Red Feathers, Guy Mitchell, I think.. I loved The Runaway Train and Starry Eyed by Michael Holliday. I remember being upset when he died because I thought I would never hear his songs again... we didn't have a record player then.. but my daddy explained that we could still hear the songs. Lots of happy childhood memories associated with listening to the wireless!!

Great thread Jennifer Eccles, thank you ?

Go onto YouTube and type in : Excerpt from a Teenage Opera.
That's the title, not Grocer Jack although that's in the lyrics. I remember it too. Singer: Keith West. (1967 and the children) I've just watched it.
I hope you see this. I tried to PM you.
Enjoy xx

‘Young Girl’ seems to be one of the best remembered and most popular songs with many of us.
Makes you realise that 50 odd years ago we just loved the tune and the lyrics had no nasty connotations.
Simpler times.

All of the above but does nobody remember Wimoweh?...

...In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight...

A political talk show over here in Italy is using it as its theme (can't think why). Oh, and another one plays Sixteen Tons as its theme.
