I do like Lulu as well, pretty fit for an old bird as well.   :P     ;)     :-*

[Duke Ellington]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh No !!!!!!

Lulu irritates me to the point of .....point of......grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!! Can't stand the woman!!!!!
Yeah her face is okay considering she has had two face lifts, collagen in her lips and bottox.
Corny kev  >:( >:( >:(

Duke

Furthermore, todays society lacks the cohesion and morality of those days. People took personal responsibility for there own actions.

but didn't the folk from the 60's bring up the yoof of 2day?
morality?what's that?

I blame the grandparents!¬!

Love Elvis and Cliff  ;D

Never that keen on The Beatles apart from a few tracks.

As I said in the another thread I don' take people who use tired old cliches like "looney left" very seriously.

"Music was superior in those days" - As I said rose tinted specs - I am surprised you can see through them..

Thats fine. I dont consider anyone who thinks Sgt Peppers was crap and cant play an acoustic instrument to have demonstrated even a microgram of knowledge about music.

Early Elvis was OK I suppose but not when he got into the ghastly crooning and silly costumes. But horses for courses. My favourites back then were Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Cream, Led Zeppelin .. oh and the Beach Boys. There were so many good groups in the 60s. We were spoilt for choice. For me Revolver and Rubber Soul were the best Beatles albums although Sgt Pepper has good stuff too.

Now? I tend to listen to classical more where I have pretty eclectic taste but I like e.g. Nine Inch Nails and Smashing Pumpkins. I don't think they're really that modern any more actually!! ::)

I love all the jazz stuff too - John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Thelonius Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald  ...... I could go on and on.


Oh and French stuff: Brel, Brassens, Leo Ferre, Barbara    ............

He looked Great in Aloha from Hawaii

Aloha from Hawaii is a music concert that was headlined by Elvis Presley, and was broadcast live via satellite on January 14, 1973. It was the most watched broadcast by an individual entertainer in television history

Presley arrived in Hawaii again on January 9 1973 to begin rehearsals.
He had lost twenty-five pounds for the show and was confident after news that his record sales were increasing and Elvis on Tour had been nominated for a Golden Globe.[10] Rehearsals were held at the Hilton Hawaiian Village while the main set was being constructed. Although there were several technical problems, the rehearsals were an overall success. ;)

 sales raised $75,000 for the Kui Lee Cancer Fund in Hawaii.

2.-LADY DI FUNERAL - ca. 2.5 BILLIONS
3. ALOHA FROM HAWAII - ca 2.4 BILLION
4.-BEIJING 2008 OLYMPICS - ca. 1 BILLION

Yes, Lulu is pretty fit for her age. Barbara Windsor is as well.

Sorry Graceland. He just doesn't do it for me. I can't see beyond the silly clothes and the mountains of yucky jewellery.  :-[ :-[ :-[  Clearly I'm the exception though!

Oh some others I remembered that I like - Queen (of course!) and Creedence Clearwater Revival.
