Russ_Horton Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 Hi everyone..I may be new on the messageboard but I'm not new to this site..I have been using Songfacts for many a day. Each week we have a songfacts highlighted song from this week in history.I'll leave it up to the posters here each week to decide which track we play. The show is brand new and is a weekly magazine show on the Oldies Generation..50s-80s basically. We look forward to your feedback..Songfacts will become a big part of our show in the weeks to come! B-)
Farin Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 Hey Russ, Welcome to Songfacts (forum) I'm sure it should be possible to get one song per week for you but tell us a bit about your show... is it on the Radio?
Lucky Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Russ... Pleased to meetcha, and welcome to the boards! Yes, please tell us more, I'm intrigued. I'm a part of that oldies geration, both in age and music taste. I also love history. In fact, I've been wanting to start a "History Lesson" thread. Tell us more about your show, and how we can help you out. It sounds lovely!
edna Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 I was wondering what kind of show it is... TV show? Nice!!! I love oldies as I´m one of them... Welcome to the boards...

Lucky Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Thanks for the wonderful response Looks like I'm gonna get hooked on this board. Gee that's never happened before! Thanks for the link, I'll be happy to check it out!
Lucky Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 OK, Russ I'm enjoying this...I don't get to hear Etta James (Roll With Me Henry) on any station very often.
_Laurie_ Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Hello Russ...thanks for the info!...and welcome to Songfacts!
Lucky Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 "Something Tells Me I'm Into Something Good" by Herman's Hermits is the Songfacts Song of the Week.... thanks for the plug, Russ!
Russ_Horton Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Posted January 8, 2008 This coming weekends song is Crocodile Rock by Elton John..pick any kind of obscure 45 from either Billboard the UK or other areas of the world. As long as the song was charted somewhere in the world and as long as Songfacts has the story away we go.I'll make sure to say hello to everyone in the weeks to come. I Love keeping the songs seasonal as well..so any January Songs are most welcome! I hope you enjoy the show..if you want to know whats going on in the world of Oldies Artists you'll hear about it on our show!
edna Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 I´ve been listening to the Oldies show and Grapevine too for awhile (didn´t know the two songs I heard). ..

Russ_Horton Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Posted January 28, 2008 We will dig up some Slim Whitman this week ..even though he's not dead ..imagine how that must make you feel..Slim Whitman "still alive" ..didn't Saturday Night Live do a sketch on Perry Como in the same vein...don't know..my 70s and 80s memories are a distant memory.
Russ_Horton Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Posted February 5, 2008 OK who would you rather sit and watch for 2 minutes..Regis or Ringo Starr performing Liverpool 8..I actually like it..kind of a geriatric When we Was Fab. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5y956PV8no
Russ_Horton Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Posted February 5, 2008 We just completed this weeks show ..its Claude François the French superstar who wrote the original My Way called "Comme d'Habitude"..he also had pop hits in the 60s such as Belles Belles Belles whiich is Girls Girls Girl by eddie Hodges in America.
