My mother also liked Mario Lanza and Carusso. She also played the album "South Pacific" seemingly non stop. Drove us all mad. Dad loved Perry Como, Nat King Cole and all the "cowboy songs" that used to be popular.

My Mum and Dad rock and rolled at the Palais in the 50s. Very 'cool parents'. Dad loved Boney M and my Mum Tom Jones in later years.
My mum loved music of all types. Dad loved Nabuko.

Same here Bobbs. I found as we got older, Dad and I shared our musical loves. He got me into Cash, Jennings, The Kinks and The Stones, I got him into XTC, Madness, Ian Dury and The Clash.

He discovered Blondie on his own, but I don't think it was Debbie's music which really hooked him in ;-)

My Grandfather sang this to to my Grandmother, I used to sit rapt in his wonderful voice and his clear love for her.

Pat we have that common bond with Nabuco, when I was at the RAH in November, the London Philharmonic orchestra played it, it sent shivers down my spine

Passing Strangers - Billy Eckstine and Sarah Vaughan.

My mum died when I was 18 and my dad followed a couple of years later, and when I occasionally listen to it now, it’s the main thing that brings back memories of them because they’d dance to it.
