OLD 55 Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Thanks Lauria and Katie. I'm Not In Love and The Things We Do For Love have both been on my Lista for a while. I said to Val "which one do you like best?" and she picked I'm Not In Love. Frampton was great! I'd have loved to have seen him live. Katie, YouTube keeps giving intermittent 'error' messages today ! Catch you all later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Thanks edna ! I accidentally locked this Thread when I made my last Post. There's a couple of little boxes close to each other, and it looks like I clicked the wrong one. What an idiot. Although my Wife didn't have to agree with that. She just said, "what, you did it again ?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dappled Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Also, have we had 3 female singers in a Top Ten before Dappled, can you help please ? I'm sure you'll have it.

Dappled Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Come Tomorrow - Manfred Mann I loved the Manfreds and specially this song. I can listen to it over and over. Northern Sky - Nick Drake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Thanks for the info Dappled. So four is the record. Farin has just drawn to my attention that some IDIOT hasn't checked the List before nominating, and one of that person's nominations is invalid. I'LL fix it in a moment.

OLD 55 Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 O.K. I'VE fixed it up now. Did I have you going there with my 'outburst' I didn't notice that Peter Frampton had been in before with "Show Me The Way". Thanks Farin. I've changed "Baby I love Your Way" and replaced it with I Fought The Law - Bobby Fuller Four . Great song from 1966 - reasonable film clip from the old Hullabaloo TV Show, but we loved it (and Shindig), where many of these old 60s clips come from.

OLD 55 Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 The idiot has now fixed it edna. And, yes Farin, The Clash did a cover of it. Goodnight All ! I think I've done enough damage for one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Seeker Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I don't know his version, but it has to be inferior because Eddie Cochran's is just great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
