  10. Songs with a spoken part

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    I have quite a few songs in my collection which have a spoken part. They do add a certain something to the song, though I can't quite put my finger on it.

    I think some songs just cannot do without a spoken part, e.g. "The cost of my love" (a mother to her little boy - sorry I need help here with the artist's name).

    As for songs which are spoken in their entirety, I would say these are recitations, not songs.

  12. OLD 55's Yearly Top 10 Singles Of The Rock Era

    in Music Discussion

    Typo and addition

    Thanks Brad. No, I have not heard "Suddenly there's a Valley".

    The Golden Oldies are really hard to come by. My participation in this thread is mainly based on what I used to hear on the radio as a kid, not from my record collections. Often my voting is based on Artist if I have not heard the song, other times I recognise the title, but looking at the Artist's name, wonder if it is the same song at the back of my head.

    Old55, Thanks for your info too.

  16. OLD 55's Yearly Top 10 Singles Of The Rock Era

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    Sorry, I'm doing it again - Re-opening an old thread. The Rock Era is too good to pass up.

    I think I scored 50% or better for each of the three years listed without talking to Mom, Dad or any of my Grandparents ! (All six are six feet under).

    My pick of favourites from the three years are:

     Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White – (Forget who the vocal artist is)

     Sixteen Tons – (Wish I had a whole CD of Tennessee Ernie Ford)

     Singing the Blues – (I like the voice quality and easy style of Guy Mitchell)

     Wayward Wind – (Not sure I heard other songs by Gogi Grant)

     Wake Up Little Susie – (The Everly Brothers are my 'anytime' favourites)

    Not in the lists, but Paul Anka's Diana & Papa are my all time favourites too.

    What happened to Pat Boone's Bernardine. Did'nt it make the charts? Or was that another year?

  21. Disco died pretty quick...why is Rapp still alive?

    Typo corrected

    As long as the youth (and some of the older) do drugs rapp will stay alive. I am inclined to believe rapp singers and rapp listeners are stoned to some degree.

    I coould be wrong. This is just one man's personal opinion. To my mind rapp is crap, it can never be music in my dictionary.

    It's my conviction that of all races, people of African origin are the ones with music in their blood, yet is it disheartening to note that most rappers are of the same origin

    Darryl, I fully agree with RT. I dont think you nor Val will need to be wheeled in to your godson's 21st birthday. I have a friend here in the Middle East. Her 90+ old dad, up and about, takes care of her bank work in her home town !! I am sure your niece will look forward to see you boogie for her son's 21st. :rockon: :rockon:

    PS: Sorry, I think we are using this thread for a different purpose. I'll shut up now.
