    I prefer The Righteous Brothers version of You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling to Cilla Black’s which was release briefly before TRB’s hit the UK. For a brief moment in time they were both in the charts together. Cilla’s version dropped away when TRB’s came out.

    Some great lists. But most impressive of all is that Clivexx’s old boss played on Sugar Baby Love.

    See if anyone can guess this song from these lyrics

    The sun is shining, the grass is green
    The orange and palm trees sway
    There’s never been such a day
    In Beverly Hills, L.A.

    i was in awe cormack. I said it was like meeting Lennon McCarthy and Beethoven all in one

    Actually he had a better verifiable story. When the Beatles played that last live gig on the roof of apple he was in town attending an interview and he’s clearly identifiable I. The small crowd below. Just passing by.

    He (like nearly everyone I met in the music business) was a total Beatles nut too

    This always happens to me. I knew the lyrics but couldn’t get the song – so I googled it! Therefore I won’t put the answer up in case anyone else wants a shot.

    I’m tone deaf, can’t sing a note and can’t play an instrument and I’m a Beatle nut (or I thought I was until I went to the Convention in Liverpool one year).

    Nothing jumping of the page RR77 although only had a quick glance at Cheltenham and Newbury. Can see an Eric Clapton song though.

    I am going to be a bit controversial here but am not a bi fan o the Beatles!! GULP!!
    Am ready for the flack. (TAKE COVER TAKE COVER)

    Here are some lyrics for you to have a go at
    Number 1
    THE LOWEST HEAD IN THE CROWD THAT NIGHT
    JUST PRACTICING STEPS AND KEEPING OUT OF THE FIGHTS
    Number 2
    THERE’LL BE NO STRINGS TO BIND YOUR HANDS
    NOT IF MY LOVE CAN’T BIND YOUR HEART

    To me they are easy but I know both songs so well.
    Good Luck :good: :good:

    Actually those lyrics I put up are from White Christmas, but a few years ago on smooth radio on Christmas day that year they had nothing but white Christmas on and in some versions they appeared at the start and others at the end, while others I’d seem to remember being in the middle. Maybe my memories are bad :unsure:

    Those lyrics stump me, but my workmate is an expert on songs lyrics because he’s listened to them when he was a child.

    My musical tribute for mum & dad are

    I love the nightlife by Alicia Bridges because she loved Love At First Bite and it was used as part of the soundtrack

    Can I Canoe You Up The River her favourite song when younger which was on an old 78 by Arthur Godfrey and later found the same song sung by Billy Cotton.

    I Just Called To Say I Love You by Stevie Wonder used for both funerals.

    When I Fall In Love by Nat King Cole also at Dad’s funeral.

    Sh-Boom (Life Could Be A Dream) by the Crew Cuts their song because according to mum it’s the only song he could sing it was played at his funeral.

    Can’t Take My Eyes Off You by Andy Williams

    You Don’t Have To Say You Love By Dusty Springfield

    When You’re In Love With A Beautiful Girl by Dr Hook

    I Remember You by Frank Ifeild

    Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream) by Roy Orbison

    Who Wants To Live Forever by Queen

    I’m Going Slightly Mad also by Queen

    Memories Are Made Of This by Dean Martin

    Make Someone Happy by Jimmy Durante also played at Mum’s Funeral.

    Magic Moments by Perry Como

    High Hopes by Doris Day ( only version I have)

    Talking of Dean Martin what’s this song.

    “I’m praying for rain in California, so the grapes can grow and they can make more wine and I sitting in a honky in Chicago.”
