Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Thanks to David I will now be singing Word Up for the next week or so. I am also craving the sight of a tall fade.
Larry Blackmon is your man.
Kat P., if I trade in some of my vinyl for cheap CDs I think I'll make a compilation of that early 80s dance/funk/pop stuff. I'll make sure you get a copy. (You too, Shawn.)

Picking a song from my birth year (one that isn't guaranteed to have people shedding tears of lunacy, laughter, depression, or as a precursor to their head exploding) has been one of the tougher tasks.
A few (seriously there's quite a few more of these classics) of the rejected chart-toppers are,
and
I know where you're coming from DX.
moonlit, were you born in 1960? There's good stuff from then. Ray Charles is a good bet from that era.
moonlit, what's the problem with "Tie Me Kangaroo Down," or have you already chosen that as your "local" song? ;-)
Bingo Hec. There's also Elvis, Everly Brothers, and Orbison, all such tear-jerker songs, The Shadows, oh and Teeny, Weeny, Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
and My Old Man's A Dustman.
I did think about it Angus and also the tragic Little Boy Lost
Hee.
12 CDs, msbelle? Hmm, that's rather more of an undertaking than one! But I do have this thread on my message center now. OTOH, I feel rather not up to the task when realizing the company I'm in!
