mary1947 2,083 Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Another song that Celtic lady's sing is You'll Never Walk alone from the film/musical Carousel. Another one of my favourites is "Parting Glass" sung by The Pogues, Drops of green , Derek Warflelo and the Young wolf tones, Celtic ladys, and not forgetting The Kilkennys!!! and many many more.

Something else from Cliff in the late 50s - a film from 1959 titled 'Serious Charge' which features Cliff's acting debut (before Summer Holiday & The Young Ones etc). It's been on Talking Pictures a couple of times and is a typical serious, meaningful film with a message for young people of the time. (i.e. it looks really dated now). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_Doll_(song)#:~:text="Living Doll" was written for the film Serious Charge. Its other claim to fame is that Cliff sings "Livin Doll' in it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,083 Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 Me ? now!!! I like Doris Day I could sit and listen all day her singing the one I Like best is Sentimental journey.

Beekay 5,153 Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 Careful @mary1947, my halo's already slipping. D.D. was best in Calamity Jane. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Willow wilson 894 Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 I've always liked Doris's singing ever since I saw Calamity Jane in the Lyric cinema, Mablethorpe in 1956-ish. My contemporaries didn't seem much into musicals and ballads. My music interests probably being broadened by my older sister's eclectic record collection. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

benjamin1945 16,161 Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 Playing Cricket for Padstow against a school in Broxtowe in the late 50s....the cricket ground was surrounded by houses..one of which was playing this song.very loudly....one of their Lads was hit on the head with the Ball.and got carried off while this song..was still playing.......... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 Once again, I love this song …. Always remember it playing loudly on the Waltzers at Goosefair. Also I remember playing this record on a Dansette on Woodthorpe Park, where a big group of us met on summer evenings to jive and generally act like teenagers with not a care in the world and our whole lives stretching out in front of us….. How is it that I can remember this so clearly even after 60-odd years….. I i can even feel the buzz of excitement I felt as I walked down to meet them all 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,730 Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 I was only 8 in '57, but the song always reminds me of hearing it at the annual kids Christma Party at the Deerstalker pub at the bottom of our street. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,511 Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 A bit before my time too but it was the beginning of the teen revolution which really took off for my age group as a mid-60s teenage Mod! Fabulous memories. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,511 Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 @MargieHyou’ve mentioned your Dansette on Woodthorpe Park before, did you plug it in somewhere? I had one in my bedroom, plugged in. Really annoyed my parents dancing up there too ……. Mum enjoyed my music but my Dad was very much a Bing Crosby fan! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,124 Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 One of my all time favourites! https://youtu.be/dx7vNdAb5e4?si=_I-jh9XJWhq9htuB 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 @LizzieM The Dansette belonged to my friend Hilary and no, it wasn’t plugged in anywhere! It must have been battery operated? I never took much notice of it - as long as I could listen to the music that was all I was interested in. It might have even been a different brand of record player? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,468 Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 Musically I’ve gone full circle. When I was young, my dad had a collection of classical/light music LPs which I used to play. That was my musical background and training, and as I got older I developed my own taste in all kinds of modern rock/progressive/alternative/etc etc. Now in recent years I’ve stopped paying attention to most ‘modern’ music and gone back to the classical things (+ more) which I knew in my young days. But I still can’t stand classical singing/operatic arias etc, where the soloist - male or female - screeches and bawls in an incomprehensible language. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
