What Music Are You Listening to Now or Your Favourite Songs of All Time

Queen, somebody to love

 

I like songs which don't have any meaningful words. So people from different cultures and languages can also enjoy - They are mostly very funny too.

 

Original
Let's get together/ The Kingston Trio 1964

Lot of Covers but i'll put these 2 on
Get Together/Youngbloods 1967

My favourite. Get Together Carpenters 1969

 

Joni Mitchell & Brandi Carlisle at the Newport Jazz Festival! I didn't see her in person.....just through Youtube, but Oh My! How wonderful!

 

Don't be afraid

 

Any and all Doo-Wop

 

I like Doo-Wop. I've ten 45s in this jukebox.
I took this with my new camera it's a Lumix DMC-LX15, but it produced a shakey video as it was constantly refocusing as I moved around, because I hadn't got used to the multitude of settings.



I also like a few one hit wonders.



No such problems with my old camera. A Lumix DMC TZ60.

This jukebox has Motown, Soul and R&B, but is "lesser known girl groups of the sixties, heavy." A personal choice like this.

The lead singer is Darlene Love, featured on the "Twenty Feet From Stardom" documentary.



The quality of the records varies depending on how much they'd been played before they came to me, via eBay or Discogs. Some I have are over fifty years old.
The rarer they are the more they cost.

But you can strike lucky. Last year I heard this on a TV documentary, "Tina Turner at the BBC." I hadn't heard it decades but I always liked it. I found an excellect copy on eBay for two quid including postage,

Anything Doo-Wop

 

I've 10 examples of doo-wop in my jukeboxes.

THE CRESTS. THE ANGELS LISTENED IN / STEP BY STEP
THE DUPREES. HAVE YOU HEARD / LOVE EYES
THE DUPREES. YOU BELONG TO ME / TAKE ME AS I AM
THE MILLS BROTHERS. PAPER DOLL / I'LL BE AROUND
THE MILLS BROTHERS. TILL THEN / YOU ALWAYS HURT THE ONE YOU LOVE
THE ORIOLES. IT'S TOO SOON TO KNOW / TELL ME SO
THE PLATTERS. SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES / NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE
THE PLATTERS. ONLY YOU / THE GREAT PRETENDER
RUBY & THE ROMANTICS. OUR DAY WILL COME / MIDNIGHT AND MUSIC
RUBY & THE ROMANTICS. WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG AND IN LOVE / HEY THERE LONELY BOY

This "B" side, is my favourite.



I've also got the same song recorded as "Hey There Lonely Girl" by Eddie Holman which was far more popular.
