Levis Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 The first time Black was nominated (#32) it didn't even make the top 20. ( Coincidentally, that was also the first time I nominated Govinda. When no one knew who/what I was on about. Naturally I was the only one who voted for it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Thanks Tim ! To feel about 41 years younger, when I first met my Wife, would be just fine. But life progresses, and I'm very happy with Val, our 5 children and 2 grandchildren. I hope you enjoy the same happiness I have. And Radhi, I've been going back through the Tens looking at songs for my 'Personal Ten' and it's not uncommon at all to see lots of great songs that didn't make it first, or even second time around, that became #1s later.

Levis Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 oh that's very true! With a lot of hype and advertising, Govinda AND Hush made it to the ultimate ten finals. Where the vote got split they nearly made it even then so I'm still proud of 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I will nominate my classics for the next top (you know, oldies that few remember... ) Black is a cool song. I would have voted for it but there was at least 10 songs I love best... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
