How about we have some choons?

Right so when was there a Top 40 with so many Top songs -

very very few and far between

Not one of John Lennon's best songs to be honest, but a very touching cover version from Glen.

I've been looking at other versions of that song and some of them I found awful. I think the version by S & C might have become imprinted as the version I know well but I always thought it would have been even better if Cher had done it alone as I thought Sonny's voice sounded harsh and he "rasped" his part. What do you think?

I didn't know that the music was inspired by Ravel's Bolero, another piece of music I like very much as it builds up in to a crescendo.

Some of the versions of What Now My Love sound very staccato and I much prefer the smooth flow of the words.

What's your favourite version of that song?

Happy Birthday Radio 1

opened with this

Hi Al, yes, that's one of the versions I don't care for. It sounds as if he's "just singing the song", there doesn't seem to be any feeling in it.

Singing Her latest single, Live

She is one of the best singers around at the moment,

She doesn't need all the stupid stage shows

Heres a stripped down version from BBC Live Lounge, as well

My first ever 12" single,

I won it in a competition

R.I.P. Tom

Back story to this song ----- Tom, Dave Stewart & Stevie Nicks were to Do a song/songs about Alice - At a party the night before going into studio, Tom introduced Stewart and Stevie, they hit it off and after went back to Her mansion - Stevie was in a bad place at the time and when She woke up, as She frequently did at that time 'lost it' and chucked Stewart out - as he went out her gate he heard her screaming 'Don't come around here No more' - Petty and Stewart sat waiting in studio for her to turn up, but after a while started mucking about with tunes, during one rift from Tom, Stewart sang 'Don't come around here no more' and they expanded it into this song - In late afternoon Stevie entered and heard them doing this song, took the huff and stormed off, never to return. She later made up with Tom Petty and even duetted on stage doing this song. This story came from Tom Petty himself

Well, there's only Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne left now?

A bit of dodgy editing in this song?

I bought the first Tom Petty album, a lot of the tracks still get regular airplay in the States 40 years later. This and Breakdown were my fave tracks off the album.

Interesting listening to one of the painted barbie doll 'Talking head'  presenters on Sky News

She thought 'Tom Petty, old rocker, doesn't really mean anything to Me'

Then She heard song after song of His, that had marked her whole life

Xmas, Birthdays, holidays, driving in the summer with Her Dad

He was that kind of artist - always there with Classic tunes, that sat inside your head

===============

Used to play this driving -

This is a version He did for a film
