I want to make my sister a CD of feel good, singalong happy songs. Does anybody have any favourites or suggestions they'd like to put forward? You know the sort - the ones you can't help singing along to after they've started even though they're not your favourite songs, LOL.
I do have some in mind and I do know some of her favourites but not enough to fill an 80 minute CD! Thanks very much :)

Louis Armstrong.. Wonderful World.
XX Jeannine
Oooooooh, yes Jeannine, well done. Any EP, Swam Rock n roll ones will do the trick. ;D ;D ;D. What about the "Fame" tune the old one?.
Do you want any of uncle Mr Magoo Busby Babes Hahahahaha.
There is a great selection in the film
High Society
I sing along to most of them .........I know........sad
Anything from Gene Pitney CD when I need to get moving to do housework and I can't. A real get going one.
Especially..".I'm gonna be strong" has to be very loud though..oh the crescendo at the end.It never fails.
For the romantic.. "The first time ever I saw your face "
or the theme from Love Story " Where do I begin"
XX Jeannine
Sam, if your sister is an Elvis fan, "Return to Sender" is one of the best to sing along with.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftMm7l-Tzo0
or
"Can't help falling in love with you"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFSfdL5lPoY
I forgot to mention Barry White in my suggestions before.
"You Are The First, My Last, My Everything"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fcd3XuQwDQQ
Rod Stewart has some good catchy numbers including this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bpbuqh12oj4
'The Ramones' 'Wonderful World' should get anybody singing along, and jumping around
