Ian, thanks for bending the rules, you should be careful though for suggesting such a thing, your post could get deleted LOL. I will take one of my Tamla Motown singles, it's my all time favourite.

If I were stranded on a desert island listening to most of the above, I would welcome a loaded revolver to put an end to it all. lol

Oh! I could go for that But in H.D. & slow motion

I misread Ian's post #157 as tropical not topical so it got me thinking of tropical songs

By a Sleepy Lagoon - (theme from Desert Island Discs) Hucknall's own Eric Coates

Island in the Sun - Harry Belafonte

Barbados - Typically Tropical (Coconut Airways)

Island Girl - Elton John

Banana Boat Song  - Harry Belafonte

 

I cannot listen to the Banana Boat song without thinking of this Morecambe and Wise version with Nina of Nina and Fredrick, a classic.

I should maybe point out that the Pretoria Pit Disaster did not take place in South Africa, but at the Pretoria Pit in Westhoughton, Lancs. 1910.  I saw a very interesting talk on the topic recently at our local history society.
