Indestructible! Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Marvin Gaye - I Heard It Through The Grapevine (US) Beatles - Hey Jude (AUS) I'll take both of 'em, thankyouverymuch! And I learned something else... Sangrey has the same birthday as me (12/14)... just a few years earlier is all. I knew there was a reason I liked his posts!

BruceH Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 US: The Fleetwoods - Mr. Blue UK: Cliff Richard And The Shadows - Travelin' Light I didn't know either song but after a search and listen of both songs I recall having heard "Mr. Blue" before. "Mr.Blue" is a great tune!! One of the few doo-wop ballads that I actually like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 (The early sixties are not known as a golden age of pop or rock music.) I completely agree. But don't tell Paul Secor that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikelz777 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) US: The Fleetwoods - Mr. Blue UK: Cliff Richard And The Shadows - Travelin' Light I didn't know either song but after a search and listen of both songs I recall having heard "Mr. Blue" before. "Mr.Blue" is a great tune!! One of the few doo-wop ballads that I actually like. It kind of makes me feel older than my present mindset knowing I was born in the doo-wop era. My sister-in-law isn't much help. Once we were talking about ages and she had one of those clarity/realization moments when she looked at me aghast and said, "You were born when Eisenhower was President!!". My sheepish response, "Yeah, well..uh... it was kinda near the end of his last term...". Edited July 15, 2008 by mikelz777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I just went back and checked the Australia chart for my birthday: CCR - Up Around The Bend That helps heal the "Carpenters wound" a little bit. The British chart was an Elvis tune, so I did my best not to pay attention to that one either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, what really gives you the feeling of "old" is when you do the math and realize that by any reasonable standard you're closer to the day of your death than you are the day of your birth. Kinda puts you in the mood to let go of the shit that keeps you from being happy lest you spend the rest of your days in unnecessary misery.
