Dappled Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'll support both Hitch Hike and Love Letters! A wonderful song, Love Letters! Here's the new Golden Oldies Top 40 #28 Playlist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dappled Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I've been trying to find other sites than YouTube to make the Playlists but failed so far. www.playlist.com worked fine, but yesterday all the songs were unavailable in my country! Grooveshark won't let me rearrange the songs! Anyone has a better site for me to try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Thanks Lars. I don't want to impose on your time too much, but maybe you could add a separate sound list of any videos you feel aren't up to par ? Such as these two originals that Pink found last week, when I said the videos were 'remakes'. Thanks Pink ! Spanish Harlem There Goes My Baby I couldn't say I was a big Marvin Gaye fan. My favorite of bazooka's nominations is 'Lonely Teardrops', but it only lasted 3 weeks when it was in before (TT 12,13,14). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'll be supporting your new nomination of 'Love Letters'. Acually I wanted to nominate the B-side of this single, "Rivers Of Salt" but it didn' t chart... and "Love Letters" isn' t bad at all... ...so I nominated "Rivers Of Salt" in the regular Top Ten...

OLD 55 Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Thanks for voting Ron and CeeJay. Strange, the 3 leading songs in contention to enter the Chart this week have all been in before ! None of them lasted long. La Bamba (5 weeks), Do You Love Me (2w) and The Theme From a 'Summer Place' (4w). Real surfing weather here in Queensland at the moment: 33.4 yesterday. I was never a surfer. My little grandchildren can swim better than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
