Barry McGuire - Eve of Destruction

Of course I should have mentioned it has to be the number one in the country you were born - I am a pommy b*stard, hence Cliff. Had I been one of you dreadful colonials then it would have been Rock n Roll Music/Honey Don't by The Beatles...

[Chase N. Nocks]

For me it is

Australia - You'll never walk alone - Gerry and the Pacemakers

UK - I want to hold your hand - The Beatles

US - The singing nun - Dominique

I'll do the links later... never heard of "The Singing Nun"

Apparently the No. 1 hit when I was born was "I'm a believer" by the Monkees, but that appals me, so your getting the great Lobby Loyde instead... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxQMuTiaL7g
I have flat out LOVED this song since I was about 5!

Yeah, I did cheat a bit there, didn't I? I have no defence, there are some things I just wont do! Posting anything by "The Monkees" would be amongst them.

Not me Digger - it is the unfortunate association drawn between banjos and hillbilly man-love as demonstrated in Deliverance that, for some reason, is always evoked when I play the damn thing - folk go "reeeeeeeee, squeal like a pig boy!". They are more to be pitied than scorned.

Quite frankly I am not the one with the problem.

I cannot answer for the avatar. I refer all queries to my colleague, Mr Hazard of Texas Heart Shot Artists Inc.

Move over young 'uns.

In the US:

"Music! Music! Music!" Teresa Brewer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY-L-NurhX8

In Australia:

"Forever And Ever" Perry Como - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az9aNJJ3y5M

One advantage of being so old is that I got to see Lobby Loyde in the Wild Cherries, with Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, and with the Coloured Balls - including live at Sunbury Pop in '73 with a stage pass!

Man, you've GOT to write up a story on that, Alan, especially Sunbury!!
He really helped the Aztecs change their sound, hey? Much meatier once Lobby briefly joined! Here's a rare clip of him rehearsing with the Aztecs (with apologies to Looseplucker...no more hijacking with irrelevant posts in the this thread, I promise! )
