Edna, no, I haven't eve heard of it. I don't know if it was released here, I suppose it must have been. I love Dolly Parton's voice, and the two guys are not to be sneered at. I'll try to download it. Thanks for the tip.

JACQUES DUTRONC and SACHA DISTEL! Were they good-looking or what!? I used to cut their pictures out from music magazines (my brother used to buy "Salut le Copains" whenever he found it) and pin them on my cork board! :: ::

Uncle Joe, don't I know it! But what do you think they do now? ::

Donovan's Universal Soldier is very good, but the very best of all times is Barry McGuire's EVE OF DESTRUCTION!

Great site, Bluesboy, thanks! I was 12-13 in 1968, but my brother and all his friends were hippies. He went to live in a commune, which was something totally new and revolutionary and my parents thought they'd never live it down! Nowadays it's called "sharing an apartment" and it's such an everyday, common thing that nobody would believe what a struggle it was for the "pioneers". ::

Edna, seems like I've stirred up memories ::. Do you remember Adamo? Although he was Italian-born and raised in Belgium, I always think of him as French. You will not believe this, but last summer at a birthday party, my hubby got out his guitar and we started singing all these popular songs from the 60's and 70's and after we had finished our repertoire and didn't know what else to sing, he started playing "Aline". I thought nobody would know it - WRONG. EVERYBODY, all 14 of us, knew the song and some even knew all the lyrics from beginning to end!

1) Electric Ladyland - Jimi Hendrix 2) 1999 - Prince 3) Songs in the key of life - Stevie Wonder 4) Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles

I could swear I once heard a song by The Main Ingredient that started: "Hello morning, good, good morning, to the one I love, crystal ringlets paint a picture of the gold sunrise above" I have not been able to find out what song it is, though. Any feedback?

I don't know if depressed is the word, but the most sorry-ass songs are those by Leonard Cohen. They're too much to endure.

This floored my daughter: "It's not unusual" by Tom Jones and "Never gonna give you up" by Rick Astley! They are so wonderfully kitsch, though! Edna, I too love Dusty Springfield, Sandie Shaw and Lulu! ::

I don't know a thing about country music, but I absolutely loved Johnny Cash's last AMERICAN III and IV album: so minimalistic, just a man and his guitar, no nonsense, no frills - sublime. On the more pop-side of country I adore Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt.

Edna, it is sort of funny, ain't it: you from France and living in Spain and me from Spain and living in Spain again after years abroad, chatting in English about music. French artists have always been very famous in Spain, you know. I remember Françoise Hardy was on the cover of every magazine when I was a kid, she was sooo glamourous and beautiful, and her songs were wonderful. I also loved Michel Polnareff and his "Ame Caline". Jeez, how long ago was that?!

Thanks for the welcome and for the info, Old 55! That "stage name" of yours sounds like we're the same generation .

This was my childhood favourite, I don't know if it ever hit the US charts: "Comment te dire adieu" by Françoise Hardy. Anybody remember her? ...Sous aucun prétexte je ne veux avoir de réflexes, malheureux, il faut que tu m'expliques, un peu plus mieux comment te dire adieu ...
