Is it true?

Vera Lynn has topped the charts wih her Eskimo hit!
Whale Meat Again
at 92, what an acheivement, good on her!
but do we wish for the good old days back, too much?,
Do youi likea bit of Nostalgia, what bits of music bring your memories flooding back, good or bad!

[squarebear]

Topped what chart?

[craft1948]

I thought she'd crept in at number 20....

[Jan1957]

Hi Joy. I like all sorts of music but Motown is what brings back the memories for me. Got in to music in late 60's so from then on loved it.

[Bobbisox]

Ohh don't know craft, just caught the tail end of last nights News, where she called it the 'Hit Parade' Bless her!
I thought they said she had opped the charts?
err, music charts, square!

[squarebear]

I thought you meant the Top 40 singles but she is 20 in the album charts from what I've just seen.

[Bobbisox]

Wow me too Jan, one I loathed tho' was The Turtles, Happy Together, My first husband bought it for me when we were courting,

I've got an old t-shirt with that on Stewey.....my daughter won't let me out in it......

[stewey]

Not too often that you can use that sentence in a "sensible" context is it, craft?

[Bobbisox]

LOL@steg, yes I remember them!!!
I guess I meant the pride of the lads returning home although I wasn't born then, honest!
I could hardly see you waving a flag singing 'There always be an England then dixie ha-ha
I was the youngest of five, so I grew up with all kinds of songs, I rememeber my two sidters who are 15 and 18 yrs older than me, playing the Radigram in the front room and hearing stuff like Wheel of Fortune...omg!

[craft1948]

agreed stewey.....I've only managed it once on here......the only person who 'got it' was snags.....

[Bobbisox]
