You can relive the World Cup minute by minute :crazy: in a live music documentary from Wembley with an appearance from Chris Farlowe singing Out of Time

I refuse to post the link.

That makes depressing reading.

Tom Jones -7wks, Jim Reeves -5, Nancy Sinatra -4, Four Tops  & Frank Sinatra -3

So much for the swinging 60s  :huh:

That would have been my dad boosting sales.

Well seen my musical roots come from elsewhere.  :D

Barney and y'all have me exploring...

Yeah that year could have been enjoyed on my big sister's mono record player... but mine is a wee sister, but hey.
So, in actual fact she had had Quo, Trex and The Sweet (before moving on to David Cassidy for some reason), but I digress...

So we agree that I'm far too young to have any tune released in that year, but there are a few I missed out on, like...

Donovan : Sunshine Superman / Season of the Witch
 Ike & Tina Turner : River Deep Mountain High
  James Brown : I Feel Good
   Jimi Hendrix : Foxey Lady / Hey Joe
    John Lee Hooker : Blues Alive (at the Cafe a Go-Go)
     Les Fluer de Lys : Circles : !!! copyright TAMB thank you  :-)
      Lorraine Ellison : Stay With Me
       Mamas and Papas : California Dreaming
        Simon & Garfunkel : Scarborough Fair / I am a Rock
         Troggs : Wild Thing
          Wilson Picket : 634-5789 / Midnight Hour / Mustang Sally
           Yardbirds : Over Under Sideways Down

...and I like Paint it Black and Boots are Made for Walking too  :P

You can decide which are cool (I don't care, I just enjoy them all), but at any rate they're more interesting than fitba' that year...
