Betty Hutton & Perry Como - A Bushel And A Peck (1950)
Many of the members here are far too young to know this song, but I can remember sitting around the family table having Sunday lunch in the 'ration-book' days of Britain after WW2.......this song used to come out of the wireless (radio), I loved it then and still do.

One Of The Funniest Comedy Sketches Of All Time
Irish comedian Dave Allen, the sketch was aired in the 70`s or 80`s on the BBC......still so funny.

Marilyn Monroe - I wanna be Loved by you
For the life of me I can't remember what it was about this film that coaxed me to go and watch it 387 times...........ha ha ha ..........I'll watch it again if it comes on the TV though.....ha ha ha

Gogi Grant - You've Never Been In Love - The Big Beat 1958
A lovely singer, who, if she had arrived on the scene 10 years earlier (before the Rock and Roll explosion), she would have been a much bigger star than she was........still, there are always folk like me that appreciate really fine singers like Gogi, perhaps there may be a few more hereabouts that enjoy 'good' singers too.

What a delightful thread. I see I'll have to wait in line for a dance with you. Meanwhile, here is a link for an interesting article regarding little known facts about "Some Like it Hot". But you probably know them all I saw the movie for the first time a couple of days ago on TV and loved it. Maybe on TCM? http://www.neatorama.com/2011/11/09/a-few-facts-you-may-not-know-about-some-like-it-hot/
Also, you can watch the full movie for free anytime you want on this link: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2bgvxf
Thank you for this feel-good entertaining thread :rose::wave:

Thank you, that's a beautiful song. I enjoyed hearing Englebert Humperdinck after all these years. He sure has a good voice! He sang "Quando, Quando, Quando" which reminds me of this viral youtube that is really fun to watch. The young man's father has alzheimer's but when it comes to music he remembers all the words. They do a duet and I just get tickled to watch them having so much fun
79-year-old Ted McDermott enjoyed a successful career as an entertainer known as 'The Songaminute Man' because of the many tracks he knows by heart. But in 2013, he was diagnosed with dementia. Today, Ted and his son are driving around town when a familiar tune came on the radio. And the amazing duet that happened next set my heart on fire!

Lara when that video was first shown in our media, I couldn't stop watching it. I must have watched it 50 times over several days, I loved it so much. They even had the dad on one of our biggest entertainment shows singing a Sinatra song, he was so lovely. ..such a sweet man.
The son ( simon) has written a book about his dad called The songaminute man

Quando, Quando, Quando - Absolutely Fabulous
Lara, you are definitely on my wavelength. That was just fantastic, both father and son (father especially). thank you for sharing this wonderful video.

Why have I never heard of this man, I was born about 15 miles from Blackburn where Mr McDermott hailed from. A Lancashire lad through and through, we're all good singers you know, well, maybe not me, but I can whistle.....ha ha ha
Thank you hollydolly for that very interesting story.
