"The Look of Love"

Oh and all the Supreme songs! Every one of them ! "Baby Love, Stop in the Name of Love."
At the time it was a cultural significance to see three beautiful black women on The Ed Sullivan Show.

Oh yes I loved "Wild Thing" or "Summer in The City"

Last night I saw a short clip of some live band. Honestly I thought it was a gathering of the devils. Just horrible, but thousands of teenagers were screaming hysterically at the show. I know it's a generation thing, but our songs were like nursery rhymes in comparison!

Thanks for resurrecting this site Donna!

Gosh Lola, I love those videos of the Beatles. I remember when they first made their appearance in America on the Ed Sullivan show. I think I have their first Album they made! George Harrison's sister, Louise, supposedly lived here in the states for many years with her husband and family. She lived in town not far from me. George would come to visit and stay with her allot. A few of the other Beatles came along with him a couple of times too. I have read that Louise had given one of the Beatle records to the local DJ and it is believed to be the first Beatle songs to play in America. The records were..."Love Me Do" and "From Me To You". George visited the radio station and gave the DJ a signed copy of "She Loves You". When George's sister sold the house to a local couple, it became a B&B and a museum of the Beatles.....the bed that George slept in, dish he ate off of, etc. (Ha.) I have seen on our local news that the house has recently been sold again, but still is a museum of the Beatles.

Hi, Cookie: George is my favourite Beatle! Concert for George was held at the Royal Albert Hall two years ago and his son, Dhani, is an exact copy of him. Here are links to that concert.

Wow, his son does look just like him! I love the song, "Photograph!" I bet there wasn't a dry eye in the house at the tribute to George. I Just watched the videos ....Where's my Kleenex!

Chatty,

I LOVE "At Last" by Etta James! My husband took me to San Francisco for my 50th b'day to see her live. She opened with "At Last" and did a terrific version. I think I will never forget those opening bars -- one of my most favorite memories.

Bonnie

Wow BonnieM,
Holy cow, getting to see Etta sing that song live. I would just die. She is such a strong performer and that song gives me goose pimples everytime I hear it, or her sing just about anything. By the way WELCOME to BWS forums. Glad to have someone with such exquisite taste, ha, ha!!!

Eagle, the first song that I learned all the words to was "I Think I Love You" by the Partridge Family LOL
The music that reminds me of High School has to be everything by the groups Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.
Oh! And Kiss! How could I forget Kiss?
But my favorite, then and now, is David Bowie!

My maiden name is Bonnie M . . .. Well, there's more too it but people don't seem to use their real, full names here.
