I thought Sandie Shaw did much better today and a strong choice of music made for a good show.
Looking at it objectively I agree with all the criticisms of the Beatles' Hold Me Tight, yet still like it.
The Young Ones, I Remember You and Bobby's Girl encapsulate the essence of winter, summer and autumn 62 respectively more than any other tracks that I know.
Nice to hear the high-quality voices of Matt Monro and Helen Shapiro.
Intriguing to hear the Chris Sandford disc, a smallish hit in late 63. I think he was in Coronation St at the time. But you'd need to be at least my age to remember Chris' father, Sandy Sandford, who was a leading light in 1950s children's TV, on those flickering 12 inch screens!

Hi Ian
I missed eary bit this week again, but Sandie was a bit better than last week.
Chris Sandford, was he a window cleaner in Corrie?
Bobby's Girl was a fave of mine, still in junior school at the time but Susan Maughan was a local girl and it was very popular up there.

I was nowt but a toddler when 'Bobby's Girl' was a hit but one of the few memories I have of that time is liking that record. I don't know why I liked it. It was probably just the sound of it. |

Hi Helen. Glad you've joined us.
Have hardly ever watched Corrie so someone else would need to advise you on the profession followed by the Chris Sandford character.
I believe that Susan Maughan came from Consett, County Durham. It's a shame that, despite some excellent singles, she never again had a big hit after Bobby's Girl.
