What's In Your CD Player/iPod/MP3/Computer/Hi Fi, Right Now?

[john]

Yes, I remember it well Lena and Harry. It was very sad.

[ROBERT M.]

Listening to the best of Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders tonight ............their hits in the 60's included The Game of Love and Pamela Pamela

[mariana44]

What about "Groovy kind of love"--wasn't that their biggest hit?

I loved "Pamela Pamela"--but have hardly heard it since.

[jon]

I may have indicated before that I'm a fan of 60s' music and I also like "Game of Love" and "Pamela, Pamela"; I think the Mindbenders (or perhaps Wayne Fontana separately) also did a number called "Um,Um,Um,Um". I read recently that Wayne Fontana fell on hard times in later life and once set fire to a bailiff's car in protest at a congestion charge fine, for which he got 11 months in jail. Another pop star of the 60s, PJ Proby (whose most famous hit was "Hold Me" - though I don't much care for it myself), is currently awaiting trial in (I think) Worcester on a charge of benefit fraud to the tune (if you'll excuse the pun) of £47,000 or so.

[mariana44]

Yes, that was another of theirs "Um, um , um, um"--a nicer song than it sounds.

I did not know about the bad times Wayne Fontana has been through--nor PJ Proby , come to that. It is ages since I heard him mentioned--didn't he sing [??] "Maria " ---No, I think it was "Somewhere ".

[ROBERT M.]

Shame about Wayne Fontana and PJ Proby.........once both big stars ...........................yes Marian, PJ Proby was famous for singing Somewhere ..................opening with his famous words There's a place fow uz

Just been listening to Kathy Kirby again tonight, "The Best of the EMI Years" tonight. Brilliant!

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Just listened to Matt singing "From Russia With Love " on Dewi Griffiths prog.

[john]

Just been listening to one of Al Martino's concerts tonight, then Matt's "Live In Australia".

[ROBERT M.]

Coincidence John, I'm listening to Yesterday Matt's 1966 live concert from Manilla tonight

[ROBERT M.]

Listening to disc 2 of The Searchers Pye Anthology tonight.........some decent lesser well known songs too

[john]

I like the Pye Anthology cd's as well Robert. I have a couple of Petula Clark ones, and a Jackie Trent and Mark Wynter one and they put a lot of the lesser known songs on them. Quite a few gems amongst them.

[john]

Just been listening to The Heart and Soul Of Jimmy Roselli tonight. Great album.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

What a voice Jimmy Roselli has John and Eric Hall played one of our other favourite singers last Sunday,.. Jerry Vale singing " More" and tomorrow he is going to play our Matt singing "Till The End Of Time." for one of the phone-in callers.
unless he forgets of course
