They Don't Make 'Em Like That Any More
Everyone has a favourite song, probably many favourites. Here's the place to post them so we can all enjoy them. I'll start with 'The Moody Blues', who went on to make some great records, this is one if their early one's, with a young lead singer called Denny Laine. He went on to join Paul McCartney's group, Wings.
If it were not for Thomas Edison, we would all be watching television in the dark.

Re: They Don't Make 'Em Like That Any More
Hi morty,
I was shown by boatbuilder how to make a youtube video appear in your post. If you copy and paste the link into your message, then highlight it and click on the 'youtube' icon/button, 'morty 3', it should look like 'morty 1. Then delete the first part of the link so that it looks like 'morty 2'. When you submit the post the video will appear on screen as part of your message. If you always delete from the forward slash back to 'https' it should work every time. I hope that makes sense, what's clear in my head doesn't always come out clear when I try to explain it.

Of coure you could just copy that particular part of the URL that you need, Mb3iPP-tHdA in Dave's example, and just paste that between the sets of Youtube BBCode.

Re: They Don't Make 'Em Like That Any More
I did post a link to this (first) one in a news topic late last year as this is one of my favourite tracks from their very first album in 1965. The second one is also taken from that same album and was penned by Bob Dylan. I like this video from 1966.

One record that brings back good memories for me is this one (If I have followed Dave and Boatbuilders instructions properly )

Mick Carter shares your liking for 'Pretty Flamingo' too, Mel.

Re: They Don't Make 'Em Like That Any More
Picking my favourite Beatles song is more difficult than picking six winning Lottery numbers, so I'll say this is one of my favourites.

Re: They Don't Make 'Em Like That Any More
I must admit I was never a great fan of the Beatles, and I have many more of Billy Fury's records than theirs. I have the same sentiments in choosing my favourite of his and this has to be one of them. However, it was only whilst going through the videos on YT that I found this and didn't know that his mother had only died less than two months ago. So this video, which is a tribute to her, seems rather apt.Dave wrote:Picking my favourite Beatles song is more difficult than picking six winning Lottery numbers, so I'll say this one of my favourites.
On reading the text within this video, it also mentions her other son Albert who had also died before her in 2011. I remember seeing him perform in a club I used to frequent in Liverpool in the mid-1960's called the 'Mardi Gras'. His group then was Jason Eddie and the Centremen and I have included a video of him below filmed in 2005 singing one of his brother's songs at a venue across the Mersey from Liverpool in New Brighton.

Re: They Don't Make 'Em Like That Any More
Sheila saw your post and she was, still is in fact, a great Billy Fury fan. She commandeered the laptop once she knew she could watch his videos and I've just got it back, after a tussle that is.boatbuilder wrote:I must admit I was never a great fan of the Beatles, and I have many more of Billy Fury's records than theirs.

Re: They Don't Make 'Em Like That Any More
This is a favourite song and video of Sheila's, years ago she taped it and somehow it was recorded over. Now she knows it's on youtube she's a very happy lady. Not only is it a great song by a great singer, it'll make you laugh, Danny de Vito rules.

Re: They Don't Make 'Em Like That Any More
This is a quite modern song by comparison to those already posted, but as it's the anniversary of the death of Amy Winehouse and I like 'Valerie' here's the video. Of course there is also the fact that I couldn't hang around for thirty or more years to post it.

Re: They Don't Make 'Em Like That Any More
I hope so, boatbuilder, minus the walking frame, though, so that I can bust a few moves. Out of interest, which site do you get your GIF's/Smilies from?boatbuilder wrote:Maybe you could post it again when you celebrate your centenary, Dave.
