Now these songs definetly rocked my boat… ;-)
Smart Dressed Man
Legs.
This is one that would definitely be classed as a boat rocker and I know that because about 8 of my friends and I would cram ourselves into the local phone box (yes, all of us at once) and we’d ring dial-a-disc every day to listen to this song (and singing at the tops of our voices ) until dial-a-disc changed the record (we were only about 13/14 years old)!
Yaaaaay…loved this one!
Brilliant wasn’t it - so different
Great sound.
Last time I used Dial a disk it was 2p a go.
OMG that is a long long time ago…
Yes b-v it was certainly different, don’t make 'em like that anymore. although I have to say I do like a few of the ones doing the rounds at the moment.
2p? those were the days!
The one and only song ‘given’ to me by a boyfriend in my adult years definitely made me rethink who and what I was (I’m generally not into love songs at all especially slow paced ones but this one is lovely) and brought about huge changes in my life:
Memories…my sister loved this group think she still likes Paul Weller. I like one of their songs but can’t for the life of me think what it’s called.
Right - enough sloppy music! This is a proper love song one of my all-time favourites (and with over 15m hits, it would seem I have very common taste in music ):
Before those women d’you mean?
More to do with Peter Green leaving, and the loss of the blues based sound. This still sends shivers down my spine.
Early 70’s I was well into music, new song writers coming on the scene every other week. I used to hang around The Western Bar in Leicester Square in my spare time and Ronnie Scotts when I got the odd night off. Living in the heart of the West End in a pub called the George and The Dragon.
These are a few that spring to mind, went straight out and bought their albums been listening to them ever since.
Paul Williams.
Clifford T Ward.
Ralph McTell.
