asperity Posted October 30, 2018 Report Posted October 30, 2018 Does anyone remember this song from the early 60s? https://youtu.be/ETX_EJgOVw8 Quote
Evil Sid Posted October 31, 2018 Report Posted October 31, 2018 can't say for sure. i think i have heard it from then but may be getting it mixed up with the theme from one of those japanese series like "the water margin" or "monkey" Quote
Bill Posted October 31, 2018 Report Posted October 31, 2018 Thought it was a Japanese version of some song I'd heard before but it's probably the original just firing up some almost forgotten memories. Nice tune though. Bill Quote
asperity Posted October 31, 2018 Author Report Posted October 31, 2018 I remember it from my youth (it was probably played a lot on Far East radio stations when I was on ships out there in the 60s). If you read the comments underneath it hit a chord with a lot of people in the West. Quote
Evil Sid Posted November 1, 2018 Report Posted November 1, 2018 Now i think i know where i have heard it from. Didn't Kenny ball and his jazzmen do a version? Quote
asperity Posted November 1, 2018 Author Report Posted November 1, 2018 https://youtu.be/vwlUJ-UPqeM It's not often you're wrong Sid, but you're right again . Quote
Evil Sid Posted November 1, 2018 Report Posted November 1, 2018 well i never did officer. Must be something that tripped that memory from when i was a nipper but haven't a clue what it is. what a strange thing the mind is. Quote
Bill Posted November 1, 2018 Report Posted November 1, 2018 I thought I'd heard it somewhere else. It's all coming back now because I distinctly remember rattling the bars of my cot to Kenny Ball's version. Bill Quote
Dizzy Posted November 4, 2018 Report Posted November 4, 2018 I've never heard it before....but I was only born in the 60's Quote
asperity Posted November 4, 2018 Author Report Posted November 4, 2018 30 minutes ago, Dizzy said: I've never heard it before....but I was only born in the 60's What does that mean though Dizzy? Have you not heard anything by Mozart, Beethoven, Ravel, Glen Miller? There is so much music out there but people are obsessed by what is "popular" today. I came across this particular song and remembered hearing it "when I were a lad" out in the Far East and it struck a chord, which is what music should do. I think that we have lost the knack of it today somehow, if recent song contests are anything to go by................................................................................................ I'm not that old, I was born in the very early 50s. So still alive Quote
Dizzy Posted November 5, 2018 Report Posted November 5, 2018 ha ha fair point Asp. I know all the words to most of Slim Whitman's songs though...cheers for that dad Quote
asperity Posted November 5, 2018 Author Report Posted November 5, 2018 And this little girl certainly wasn't around in the 70s https://youtu.be/eOU6UAjmVIk I think her parents must only have the one CD in the car . Quote
Dizzy Posted November 5, 2018 Report Posted November 5, 2018 Ha ha I saw that the other day.... I was impressed Quote
