Love Letters in the Sand - Pat Boone

 

Moments to Remember - The Four Lads

 

Oh, you have brought back some great memories for me, SeaBreeze!! Used to watch the Tammy films when I was a teen in Kuwait and as for Blueberry Hill.... I remember when the American Navy came in one time and they put on a little show for us and that was one of the songs they sang. I have never forgotten the sailor with the white swimming trunks with OHIO printed across the back.....;):cool:

My next contribution also takes me back there when an American girl from Louisiana invited a crowd of us to her house for a pyjama party and she taught us Brits how to do the Stroll. Great days. Don't know who actually sings this song but the video is brilliant... well, I think it is. :)

Pam, the Stroll, remember it well! Bee, can't sit still in the computer chair listening to At The Hop! :cool:
 
All these '50's songs take me back to when I was a young teenager, myself and 2 friends used to go to a large cafe every night and in those days we got paid weekly on a Friday but by Thursday we were skint and we used to scrape enough money together between us to buy one bottle of Vimto and take three straws and 10 Batchelors (cigarettes), the majority of the local boys and girls used to go in there plus soldiers from the nearby army camp and there was always someone that would feed the juke box so we could get up and have a jive.:) ah! sweet memories.:)

SeeBreaze, I know just what you mean with 'At The Hop'.:)

Oh Bee-Only You is pretty much my all time favorite song :) Two weeks ago,my oldest sister hosted her 75th birthday party at a playhouse in Northern California that was doing skits and songs from the 50`s. They did sing "Only You"-I was so happy about that. My newest granddaughter,coming in July,will be named Destiny,a name I suggested because of this song!
 
Theresa Brewer was my favorite girl singer. Fats Domino's Monday, Monday,Blueberry Hill were some of my favorites. Still have some 45s by Fats? Only You was one of those great songs when you were in love.

Old Country songs were also some of my favorites. WWVA, Wheeling, WV was a great listen when it would come in. We lived in the country so radio stations were at a premium.
