No, Jenny, thanks, I've just changed it to AKA band -couldn't type before! and remembering someone said they are now called bands now! Joy

Yes, where is Brenda Lee now. Love her voice. How about Geno Washington and the Ram Jam Band?! Joy (still feeling depressed about being an older person, used to be child of flower power)

Aretha Franklin. Joy

One of my favourite (club) groups of the 60's was Zoot Money and His Big Roll Band . . . . . . they were great, I don't think they ever had a hit record. Althought I have never watched EastEnders, I think Zoot Money appeared in this soap a few years ago.

Yes, I used to hear Zoot Money at the Bromley Court (hotel). Fantastic. Joy

The Deadwood Stage everyone sing after three ONE TWO THREE Oh! The Deadwood Stage is a-rollin' on over the plains, With the curtains flappin' and the driver slappin' the reins. Beautiful sky! A wonderful day! Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away! Oh! The Deadwood Stage is a-headin' on over the hills, where the Injun arrows are thicker than porcupine quills. Dangerous land! No time to delay! So, Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away! We're headin' straight for town, loaded down, with a fancy cargo, Care of Wells and Fargo, Illinois - Boy! Oh! The Deadwood Stage is a-comin' on over the crest, Like a homing pigeon that's a-hankerin' after its nest. twenty-three miles we've covered today. So, Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away! The Deadwood Stage is a -travelling fancy and free, and the frightened cattle in the shade of the cottonwood tree, Lift up their heads to ?????. Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away! There's a hill of gold just a-waiting for a shovel to ring. When I strike it rich, going to sit in a hammock and swing, twiddling my thumbs and rockin' away. Tum tiddley-um, Tum tiddley-um, Tum tiddley-ay. The wheels go turnin' round, homeward bound, Can't you hear 'em humming, Happy times are coming for to stay - hey! We'll be home tonight by the light of the silvery moon, And our hearts are thumpin' like a mandolin a-plunking a tune. When I get home, I'm fixing to stay. So, Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away! Tum tiddley-um, Tum tiddley-um, Tum tiddley-ay. Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away! Here they be, here they be. How's about a welcome? A peaceful sort of welcome for the gang - Bang! The Deadwood Stage is a-finally home again. Well excuse my stammer, if it ain't Calamity Jane. Hi-ya Calam... - What you bring us today? New rubber boots, Ten dollar suits, things to crochet. Beads that sparkle like a prism, snake oil for your rheumatism, Calico and gingham for the girls. Gumdrops made in Chicag-y, Gumdrops just a trifle soggy, And a genuine string of artificial pearls. Here's a hat from Cincinnati, same as Adelina Patti wore in every famous concert hall. Cast your eye on Dr. Boris' patent-pending hair restorer, guaranteed to grow hair on a billiard ball. Introducin' Henry Miller, just as busy as a fizzy sarsparilla. He's a showman and he's smarter, operates the Golden Garter, where the cream of Deadwood City come to dine. And I'm glad to say he's a very good friend of mine. Colorado Charlie Utter, I've been told he ?????? with Daniel Sutter. From ?????, bronco buster, Injun scout for General Custer, back in Yellowstone in 1869. And I'm glad to say he's a very good friend of mine. Hi Joe, say where d'you get them fancy clothes? I know! Off some fellow's laundry line. Hi Beau. Well aren't you the Prairie Rose, Smelling like a watermelon vine. Here's a man the Sheriff watches. On his gun there's more 'n twenty-seven notches. On the draw there's no-one faster and you're flirting with disaster when Bill Hickok's reputation you malign. But I'm glad to say he's a very good friend, of a friend of mine. Oh! The Deadwood Stage is entitled to rest today. In the Golden Slipper the folks are chipper and gay. Feet on the bar and raring to go, Set 'em up Joe, Set 'em up Joe, Set 'em up Joe. Drinks on the house, Drinks on the house, Set 'em up Joe. I know its not a group but I like it

Not long now to a sad anniversary - 16 August 1977. RIP my no 1 hero. Joy

WOW!!!!! is this thread still going??????? i've only just logged in, chris.

Sorry, Chris. It's mainly my fault. A child of flower power but now realising I am an older person. Driving to work Friday I heard on the radio California dreaming by the Mamas and Papas. What a voice had Mama Cass. Joy

no problam, i'm just glad to see it still going!!!! we can't forget the 60s, it was a great time!!! here's one for you, bobby goldsborough, honey, it was such a sad song, i remember when i started in my first job, it used to be on the radio all the time, and i remember one girl would always cry when it came on. i can even remember the date i started in my first job, 4th august 1966, can anyone else remember there first job. chris.

chris my first job was printing labels for tablet bottles in 1964 and lasted 3 weeks then I worked in a grocers shop for 3 days then aranging artificial flowers for displays in pubs and clubs for 2 years and got £2 a week, then I was a kennelmaid at a greyhound racing kennels and got £5 a week when I started. jenny

some records I was listening to last night on capital gold, only you platters, temptation the everly brothers, born too late poni tails, big girls dont cry four seasons and halfway to paradise, was that billy fury?. jenny

Yes, it was Billy Fury, Jenny. Love that song. Joy

Joy Brenda Lee sang the end of the world song, it was one of my favourites when I had to wash the tea dishes and had Luxenburg on the radio. I was about 10. Why do the birds go on singing, why do these eyes of mine cry, Dont they know it's the end of the world, it ended whey you said good bye. I'll wake up in the morning and I'll wonder, why everythings the same as it was ect ect. J

Oh, Janet, yes, I used to sing I can't understand, no I can't understand why life goes on the way it does. I can't remember who'd just dumped me. Not long ago, of course. Just playing a Mail on Sunday freebie CD Gimme some loving - Spencer Davis, that's cheered me up! Joy

Peter, Paul and Mary - Blowin in the wind ... leaving on a jet plane ... if i had a hammer. Joy

I know the names of hundreds of groups and singers from the 50s 60s and 70s and most of the words but I couldnt name many modern singers . jenny
