[OLD 55]

He's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!! :sing1:

Thanks CJ. I definitely wasn't going to nominate, but Ray tempted me with his Brenda Lee nomination. I'm a sucker for 50s/60s girls/girl groups, so I thought I'd try to get Brenda, and Connie Francis, into the Ten. Trouble now is, I really prefer my other 2 noms (which were originally in my PTT) to the 'girls'. Call me fickle.

Sorry no Connie, Darryl, I didn't have room ... now if it had been Where the Boys Are .... top 5. A lot of great songs this week, I barely had room for my own.

[OLD 55]

That's fine Carole. It's not my favorite Connie song either, although I like just about anything she sang. I put it because I thought it would be well known.

[phil]

Carole, I did notice Leon. Joe Cocker and Leon were a great team.

[TheLizard]

Maybe my favorite Allman Bros song. I was surprised it hadn't made it in yet!

[OLD 55]

I'll go along with #1 and #2. And I should have voted for "Pretty Fly.." - the video always makes me laugh. Kenne could tell you how I struggled with my voting this TT; I changed the lower half of my votes a few times. I always try to do listen to every nomination - even those lonng 7 minute ones, when I could be playing 3 x great two minute 50s or 60s songs. No offence; it would be a boring old World if we all liked the same things.

[phil]

Hooray for The Allmans and Crackerbox Palace.
