Downsunder Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Left Hackenthorpe early one Saturday morning on a 650 Beeza with my friend in the chair, both seventeen, never been anywhere by ourselves, with Skeggy in our sights and nowhere to stay. Unbelievable sense of freedom, the sun beating down on us in the legendary summer of '67. With the North Sea on the horizon we pulled into a roadside café, immediately fell in love with the dark haired waitress who served us tea and bacon & eggs we couldn't afford. A song playing on the radio, I'd never heard before, it was the perfect song for that place and time and even now 'All You need is Love' transports me back to that innocent, drugless, magical scene I never want to forget.

DUFFEMS Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Ruby Murray singling "Softly, Softly". .Bloomin' heck - am I as old as that?. My uncle was in the RAF doing his National Service when he brought this record home when he was on leave, must have been around 1955, he played it endlessly.

trastrick Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I always feel acutely embarrassed when I think of Frankie Lanes song Jezebel. On a works coach trip with my Mom and Dad around 1950 I decided to give everyone my own solo rendition of this song, I remember it ending in a sort of stunned silence which gradually returned to normal conversation... Even now thinking about it I wont to curl up into a ball and hide .... I was working in East Fife, and got up in a pub to do All the Way. Same thing happened. Last time for that. OOOOh, it still hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nanrobbo Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Don't smsoke in Bed .....Peggy Lee, my then boyfriend intorduced me to this song , sang it actually, and I thought he was making it up and stalked off in a huff. Had second thoughts tho and after 57 yrs married I still love the song and the memories and the old man of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 'I left a note on his dresser, and my wedding ring'. Is that it Nanrobbo? There were a couple of songs of similar vein around that time. 'Strange Fruit', flyer'll like that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
