EXILE!! (then and now.) One hit wonder band, but it was a goody. The front man, Jimmy Stokely died years back at the age of 43, I believe due to complications from Hepatitis.


 

An oldie, but goodie. this was filmed in England at one of Cliff Richards's music celebrations.

When I was first married I used to often play "Coconut Woman" by Harry Belafonte, the B side of "Island in the Sun" it always got me dancing around like an idiot.


"Island in the Sun" a live version

Thanks for that SB, what a nice song to wake up to while drinking my coffee, I had never heard of George Ezra so had to look him up, (the shame of it as he's a Brit) :eek: He is an interesting guy, very down to earth for a pop star.

“The fact it’s so mad just makes me relax more,” he says with a cheerful shrug, before explaining his approach to the craziness of life as a pop star: “If it lasts two years? Awesome. If it’s 12 years? Awesome, just enjoy it; it’s not the be-all and end-all.” ...... This disarming level-headedness crops up a lot when talking to Ezra. His recent success, he says, is just a “bonus” of being able to play guitar and sing. He takes any fame with a “pinch of salt”. At one point he’ll say “It’s just my job” and compare the fact he has to sing his hit Budapest dozens of times a week to the role of a pizza guy churning out margaritas to order.

A fun video with Sir Ian McKellen
 
I've known about George Ezra since he first came to the public eye...I can never hear Budapest too often. He's a local boy from our village he grew up around the corner from where I live and attended the local school here....we're very proud of him.. :D
 
Love my music, the 50's doo wop, rhythm and blues, sweet music you could hold a girl and dream together as you floated on the cloud of great romantic music.

That's nice I don't know that one.

I am in an inspirational mood at the moment with the likes of this from the film Hannibal:

I have this song with other sonnets on a CD, which I have on my CD clock radio beside my bed. This is a great song to either wake up with or go to sleep with. So peaceful.
 
Though I was never a Beatles fan....since the late 60's this one by John remains in my head. Whenever I feel stressed or overwhelmed it repeats and repeats it's self....
