What Do You Want to Make Those Eyes at Me For? by Emile Ford and the Checkmates

That's a tune

[stumpy]

Frankie Laine - 'I Believe'. That'll do, it could've been 'How much is that doggie in the window'!

[Markw]

Englebert Humperdinck - The Last Waltz - not even close to the type of music i like....

[StillCruising]

UK charts don't go back far enough but in the US, Nature Boy by Nat King Cole, quite apt really.

[Hockham Admiral]

On the Day I was born, Mary's Boy child, by Harry Belefonte,

This was followed By Jerry Lee Lewis, Great Balls of fire....

The combination of which I make no comment...

[Vaughan]

For me, it would have been a fanfare by the state trumpeters of the Household Division, as I was born on the day that the Queen married Prince Philip. Oh yes, and a gun salute in Hyde Park. All for little me! My idea of good music is the band of the Royal Marines but I think that may have been my father's influence. I remember his reaction when he first saw the Hollies on TV, with all that hair!

Anyway, it was either that, or Vera Lynn!

[TheQ]

I prefer Anne Shelton,

First year is 8 years too late for me.

First one I bought of those on the list was Nut Rocker by B Bumble and the Stingers - I really did have taste.

Happy to see David Whitfield with "Cara Mia" when I was just 6 Years old. This was played a lot at home. He lived only about 10 miles from us and I would often visit his sister with my mum and dad.

For those that mentioned Jimmy Young, my mum sang backing vocals on an old 78 record that he recorded.
