Meryl, re: your Spring Sing--good for you! As for Babs--well, she was in her comedienne rôle--but that's her! But yes, wasn't Allison Case, as 'Crissy,' just beautiful Saturday night? So touching--and really, really good, musically! Great production, all around!
Paul--I bet you loved this one--one of my all time favorites, in 1966:
Un Homme et Une Femme - Claude Lelouch 1966 (2:28)

Yes, John, although I'm partial to Patricia Kaas's version from "And Now Ladies and Gentleman" (with Jeremy Irons). Alas, I cannot find it on youtube.
As a consolation, here's Mireille Mathieu:

Oh theres nothing like a song to put you right back there.....another time, another world.....I have been having flash backs all day today, after all this talk of the 60's.

And everyone had a transistor radio beside them as they sunbaked on the beach...in fact one radio station used to have a call every half hour saying...."time to turn over in the sun".....so everyone would get an even tan.......no one ever thought to tell us to put sun block on though.
Yeah that was back "when a smoke was a smoke and groovin was groovin"........

As for baking on the beach...forget sunscreen! Do you remember the baby oil and iodine concoction we slathered ourselves with? Talk about frying in the sun!

We used to smother ourselves in coconut oil and virtually cook....then the next day when we were red and sunburnt we used to rub tomato on our skin.....
I was driving into town today, thinking about all these posts here, and reflecting on my own memories.....I mentioned in an earlier post that the song that was OUR (my hubby's and mine) song was Young Girl by the Union Gap........there were two reasons why it had a special meaning to us....
One was because I was a Young Girl.......17
The other was the words .....so hurry home to your Mama, Im sure she wonders where you are.....even though I was engaged to be married, at 17 if Mum said "be home by 10"......I was home at 10......many a time when Bob and I were out, I would say, I've got to get home, Mum will be wonderin where I am.......
How things have changed.........
Ellemeno:
That is an INCREDIBLE list of songs. I don't recognize a few, but man oh manischewitz, most of them are jewels. A person could do worse than only listen to those 100 songs the rest of their life.
Leslie, I remember you and me bonding over 77 WABC two and nearly a half years ago!
Three of my favorites from Hair:
Easy to be Hard (Three Dog Night)
