You have a really good choice of songs here! José Luis Perales is also one of my favourites. Do you speak Spanish (most of the songs you posted are in Spanish)?

The last song I listened to is “Il cantico delle creature". The lyrics are from a text/“cantico" by Saint Francis of Assisi and the music is composed and sung by Angelo Branduardi, a great Italian singer and musician. It is truly beautiful (and I love the sound of Italian!)

Thanks, Stephen. That led me to a few more songs sung by Shakin' Stevens, including 'What Do You Wanna Make Those Eyes At Me For?' I like the video - it's refreshing to see crowds of people and not a mobile phone in sight! :lol: I'd forgotten all about Our Price Records!

Elvis Presley - Too Much

http://www.dropshots.com/Domino43/date/ ... 8/11:43:26" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Elvis wasn't the first to record this number. It had originally been recorded by Bernard Hardison (backed by the Louis Brooks Band) in 1954, for the small Nashville-based Republic Records. The writing credits on that record were for [Joan] Norris and [Bernie] Weinman. Norris was the wife of Bill Beasley, who owned Republic, and Weinman was his financial partner. When Elvis recorded it in 1956, the writing credits were shown as Lee Rosenburg and Bernie Weinman. It transpired that Rosenburg was Weinman's secretary. When the latter two tried to register copyright, Norris and Beasley sued but lost the case. It seems likely that there were murky dealings and possibly none of the four were actually responsible for the writing.

I think my first encounter with this song was Sesamstraße (Sesame Street), they sang it in German, "Auf, auf und davon, mein roter Luft-, mein schöner Luftballon". I think I was still in Kindergarten then. I have to say though, I liked "Garten eines Kraken" (Octopus's garden) much more ;-).

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

You're right, Pete, I know this song. I bought the album in 1990 :-).

Not a song but a good article about the pop charts which may strike a chord in forumites like myself who remember when music was different to today.

Just listened again to John Lees' Barclay James Harvest tribute to the death of their member "Woolly" Wolstenholme, "On Leave" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVP9f5Y ... S8&index=3
Not among my most favourite songs, but still impressive in my opinion.

Not one of my favourite BJH songs either, Wolfgang. I was listening to Octoberon in the car the other day, I love The World Goes On.
