Oh yes...the logging out happens to me all the time. I thought it was because I am doing this all on my phone and that was where the problem lies.....
Bit you did post different links, so double whammy!

I would've been 3 when this was out...
Puppet on a string

And I loved the Smiths version of this.
Hand in glove

I am going to put Lulu's " To Sir With Love"

And from the film.....because the dance is cool (I had the biggest crush on Sidney Poitier)

Yes you must.....I saw Steeleye Span at Digbeth Civic Hall, Birmingham in the early 1980's.
(Across the road also in Digbeth, I took my very early ballet examinations as a small girl!)

Probably my favourite is "Black Jack Davy"....

and another would be..."Thomas the Rhymer"

I'll spare you "Gaudette"... for now....eligin52

Chrissie...yep...but not as 'badass' as Sandy Denny.

'Autopsy'and 'Who Knows'.... has been done elsewhere I think in duplicate.....so leaving Fairport for the moment I will indulge in....

North Star Grassman. And the Ravens...

https://youtu.be/U8L_vQf8gRA.

and more Sandy with Led Zeppelin's 'Battle of Evermore'

https://youtu.be/CTstnU30CWQ

Bless her!

I think it is going to be a good day, weatherwise!

KD Lang and the whole of Ingenue, an album well worth listening to.

Such a troubled one .though.....brilliance shining through.
Here's a thought...she and my Mother share.the same birth year. 1939.
(My Mother and Ginger Baker shared the same birthdate!!!!)


Kate....'growing up' with Kate Bush. This was in the charts when I used to hang out at (afore mentioned) Ingestre Hall, Staffordshire.

That's the spirit.....

I admire Dusty Springfield for her deliverence, performance,
Panda eye'd and beehive but also because she refused to perform to a segregated audience in South Africa....and that upon being refused entry to a restaurant for wearing the 'wrong attiire' (ie. trousers), she promptly removed the 'offendin' article and dined without (in her shirt tails)....

https://youtu.be/AuPOwe-2EYA

I don't know what to do with myself.

Son of a Preacher Man (what a great first record!)

Debbie Harry....love Breaking Glass. ..and Atomic...
Have you ever heard her in her folk singing days?
