General Chat

You're very welcome Tec, glad it's brought back good memories :-D

I don't think Bob Marley been mentioned. love a lot of his stuff, and it's still popular now.

Andysmum, I reckon those who have hung to there Vinyls, could have a nice little nest egg, if the have the right tracks.

Vinyls are coming back into fashion. It's something to do with the sound quality and some of them are quite valuable, so long as they are in perfect condition.

Our local Oxfam shop has a "Wanted" list in its window.

Apart from not knowing ' Turkish Coffee'

I have not almost forgotten, not even the teeniest weeniest bit forgotten your list of Vinyls Tec... We have a dresser (not a Welsh one) that has two cupboards of Vinyl records. It took us ages to get a decent turntable for them.

Tapes have been rendered more or less useless and been updated with CDs, but Vinyl will stay.

Tec :-) Thanks for this thread Lynda

Not recently but I used to hide when Paul Robeson came on the radio because I was afraid of his voice.

Just thought of these two.. Tiny Tim, tip toe through the tulips, and PJ proby, him of split- trousers- on- purpose fame.

Honest I didn't like them, just thought of them :-D

Paul Robeson singing "Ol' Man River"

and anything by Jim Reeves.

Karl Denver- Wimoweh

keep up Paula - we've had that one :-D

Guy Mitchell ...... She wears red feathers. ;-)

I'll be Home and Love letters in the sand - Pat Boone!!!!

I so agree Andysmum

It's probably an age thing, but I much prefer the solo artists to the modern bands/singers with loud backing groups.

At least you could hear all the words.

Tommy Steel also sang "singing the blues" :-)


Frankie lane singing "Answer Me " and I Believe just loved those to songs :-)

ahh 'Young Love' :-D

edit: no.....that was Tab Hunter

'April love' was the one :-D

And Pat Boone. "Remember You're Mine" was a favourite.

Used to love Guy Mitchell :-D Singing the Blues came out the year I left school and remember learning the words and singing it with pals at the juke boxes:-D
