Age is a state of mind, music keeps the mind young.   A little Gene Chandler sounds good!

I have never heard of Josephine.  Strange you always come up with something I haven't heard.  And it seems Betty Lou was also done by Neil Young.

Re: Oldie But Goodies

>>>Anyone here know this wee girl  Josephine Sunday<<<<<

Never heard of her, but that video almost looks like a spoof on big hair 60's girl videos.  I couldn't stop laughing, for some reason.  My guess is that Josephine burst out of that outfit 30 seconds after the cameras stopped rolling and never fit into it again!

Re: Oldie But Goodies

Hey all! Really good old tunes you guys-n-gals posted. Makes me want to listen to more oldies.
REMs' song is an awsome song-thanks Bensonp. That song makes one stop and realize no matter how
tough things get-don't give up.     Mike

Our intuitions serve us well

Re: Oldie But Goodies

REM, everybody hurts !

Bensonp that song was playing in Teneriffe 7 years ago. My friend Joanie asked me to check out a small lump she found in her breast while showering . Joanie walked 5 miles a day, had a swim 4 times a week, didnt smoke , didnt drink. But it was cancer.
I'm soooooo pleased to say "minus a breast she survived". I always associate REM with her. Its a great song and  Joanie is a great friend.

As its Valentines here this weekend, lets introduce some loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. songs lol.
Heres my first one.

Re: Oldie But Goodies

bensonp sits down and watches the lovely couple swoon to Frank Sinatra.  What a dancer that topdown is.  I wish I had those steps in my repertoir.  But bensonp waits patiently and wonders if this is the longest song he's ever heard, then the dance comes to a end and he asks Old Doll for one more dance.  Lionel Ritchie
He looks into her eyes as they walk to the dance floor.
