Frank Chacksfield's 'Ebb Tide'

[Hagrid]

This should awake some memories for those who remember the 50's. Haunting instrumental:

and it actually hit #1 on the "hit parade" back in the day. Since most hit records were (and are) vocals, the TV show "Your Hit Parade" had to show a ballet routine to back up the music. Anyone remember?

 

[SeaBreeze]

Thanks Hagrid, that was a lovely start to my day. :sentimental: Here's a later version I'm fond of, with words.

 

[Falcon]

Loved it ! REAL music. Not just a few guitars and LOUD thump, earsplitting thump, bang, bang.

Gone are the days of REAL musians.

 

[Meanderer]

They were both great! Thanks Hagrid & SB! Here's Roy Hamilton!

 

[Falcon]

Like that one too Meanderer. Nice !

 

[SeaBreeze]

Good one Meanderer, I remember this version well, another good one.

 

[RadishRose]

I remember this song too; the Platters version. Nice to hear it again!
