FUNKING FOR JAMAICA Tom BrowneLike I say I could have put ten more in easily.
And for fun I keep saying if they are going to bury me I want Going Underground to be played LOLAnother thought Raymo is a cremation with Fire by Crazy World Of Arthur Brown playing in the background.
Mum requested Sh-Boom (live could be a dream) by Crew Cuts for my Dad’s funeral, because it was the only song he knew, so it became their song.
Eden Kane had a number 1 hit with Well I Ask You in 1961.
Eden Kane had 2 brothers who had top ten hits, one reached number 1 but who was he, and what was his song?
You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.He sure did, was watching him last night on YouTube, it was an old top of the pops performance.
It might be just my opinion here, but sixties music in general seems the best. Not that the other decades had their moments. Of cos been born in the sixties might make me bias.
At work have a workmate who’s quite into his music, listening to songs on the radio as a child so can come up with lyrics in a song, not just at the beginning but also in the middle. He also knows the artists. This got me researching songs, particularly songs around when I was born.
You’re song is on an album I downloaded from Apple called “The Best 60’s collection extra.” With more unusual 60’s hits for example Long John Baldry Mexico (Underneath the ⛅ in ) .

Don't mess with mister in between.Probably agree RR although I do like a lot of 70s music. I grew up (well a teenager when music seems to be at its biggest influence) in the 80s but still preferred 60s/70s even back then. I didn’t mind some of the 80s stuff such as Madness but didn’t fall for the peer pressure of liking bands such as Duran Duran although looking back even they did some alright stuff.
As for the 2000s I think there has been some massive hits such as Drake but no idea how this song/music goes
There is also the matter of owing music nowadays. Before CDs it was just as good to own the record/packaging as the music. Great artwork/photography and also collector items such as picture/coloured disks or booklets/photos/posters within the album. I think Queen’s Jazz was quite a popular one
CDs diminished this and Downloads have totally wiped out any interest for this sort of thing. Most probably why vinyl is back selling so well.The LP cover was “part and parcel” of the whole process of a music purchase.
The sound of a decent analogue hi-fi setup will beat the socks-off of any digital-processed crap that is the mainstay of today.
