DJ360 6,720 Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 A week or so back I was at friends and they played this: Despite my undying teen lust after the gorgeous Michelle Phillips.. I pointed out to my friends that the original hit was recorded by the fabulous Shirelles around1960: However... I was wrong (DJ 360 wrong? Surely not!!!) Surely yes.. So here it is.. the original.. Credit where it's due I say.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not a bad rendition and yes, the dance moves are fab and groovy, but they don't trump the Impressions: One of my favourite 'non Motown' bands, whose history goes back to at least 1958,with this: Jerry Butler went on to have his own solo career..recording this well before the Walker Bros. And this brilliant recording with Betty Everett in 1964: Meanwhile the Impressions had hits such as: And: I useter play the Impressions a lot dahn the360... obviously..because I was cool....

Cliff Ton 10,449 Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 I never saw the film back in the day, but I have the DVD and have watched it several times. I'm not normally interested in jazz, but the music is by Johnny Dankworth and it works really well as the soundtrack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,079 Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 If you find it hard to exercise then i dare you to watch these two video's on You-Tube if these don't get you off the sofa well nothing will. 1st one Hillbilly Girl Lisa Mchugh it starts in a small town centre but when Lisa starts singing every one joins in I DARE YOU TAKE A LOOK. 2nd DVD/video Now if you have rubber legs this is the one for you, Even when he goes to the loo. Dire Straits WALK OF LIFE never ever have you seen legs like this man has got. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David sheridan 159 Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 Not listening, but watching an old French movie short which brought back memories of my childhood, the film Ballon Rouge, or rather The Red Balloon , lovely views of France in the old days too.

MargieH 7,599 Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 I’ve just watched the film again… it’s quite surreal isn’t it! I started thinking about the song - 99 red balloons from the 80s 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We’ve seen them perform at The Stables in Wavendon, Milton Keynes, which was their home. A good friend of ours hired The Stables for his 50th Birthday party, 20+ years ago, and we were entertained by The Bootleg Beatles, a brilliant night. It was a great venue but not sure if it’s still open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,720 Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 I haven't seentheRed Balloon since probably the 50s or 60s. Didn't it end with the little boy floating away on a big collection of balloons? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,720 Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 There's a song being played in TV ads for 'Meta', which I don't think I've heard before, but do like. A little research revealed that it was this one by Ivory Joe Hunter. Previous to this the only song I knew by Ivory Joe was this.. probably his best known song in the UK. released 1956 and a big hit in the US, but I don't think it charted here and an original 7" copy is worth several hundred pounds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivory_Joe_Hunter Enjoy!

DJ360 6,720 Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Been listening to another of the compilations that Picko does, mostly on music we played back in the day at the 360 etc. A nice little sequence of songs by Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. Mitch and the Wheels were an improbable bunch. All white and playing in Detroit, the home of Motown and at the time when Motown was conquering charts the World over. To add insult to injury, they did a sort of mostly high energy 'blue eyed soul', with many of their songs being 'lifted' from the black R&B tradition. Yet they had a few notable hits, and are still much loved by the 'Northern' crowd. Their career was pretty short, and Mitch himself faded, largely due to rotten management I think, because he could sing. He continues to tour I believe.: Dig! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You'r right The Clinton Arms did have topless barmaids it was on a Sunday lunch time. Not sure but i think this was one of the first pubs to have them. The date would be around 1967/69/72? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
