Folks who Live on the Hill, Peggy Lee.

cheelu - that's really too hard a question!

Ana Tue 08-Jan-13 13:28:06

I agree - I couldn't choose just one!

See Emily Play; Pink Floyd...simples...

I'm with Ella about Peggy Lee, but prefer her rendering of 'Fever'.
Another that sticks in my mind is 'Miss Otis Regrets', preferably the Ella Fitzgerald version.

always too difficult! We have regular D I D evenings with friends and it is hard to choose eight!

Start Me Up by the Rolling Stones, but it's a close call with so many songs, some rock, some classical.

Struggling to pick just one, keep coming back to Handbags & Gladrags by Rod Stewart.

‘I’d rather go blind’ by Chicken Shack. Christine Perfect/McVee is the singer. Originally done by Etta James.

'As I love you' by Shirley Bassey.

The Stereophonics also do a nice version of Handbags and Gladrags. My favourite is Cathy’s Clown by The Everly Brothers, it always reminds me of the year I left school and I equally love A Different Corner by George Michael. DH’s favourites are The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack and ‘Bring Him Home’ by Il Divo. Last Christmas I bought DH the CD of Roy Orbison with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The first track is In Dreams and it made us both cry so that is becoming a favourite too. Sorry I know it should be one but it’s too hard to choose one.

'Don't want to miss a thing' by Aerosmith. Makes me cry every time I hear it!

‘Outward Bound’ by Tom Paxton is one of my favourites, kind of sad and nostalgic. I think I would like that at my funeral.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd although there are many others I could name.

LauraNorder Sat 11-Sep-21 12:47:06

Barry White, My Everything.
Nina Simone, My Baby Just Cares For Me.
