grinder Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Hi Willy. They've always brought the good owduns back, a lot got jazzed up in the sixties with Rock an Roll. Fat's Domino's first hit over here was "My blue heaven", another I remember off the top of my head was "Momma, he's making eyes at me". Even Rolf Harris did it with "Two little boys" , that was from the American civil war... So there's still a chance for us yet..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know Bing Crosby and Gene Autry made big hits with that in 1940 ? Even Ray Charles had a No 1 hit in the American charts with it, but much later of course ...

pensionipper Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Willybite and cilaw -do you remember the B.B.C. banning 'Lay down your arms' as they thought it might encourage our lads who were fighting in Korea to do just that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
