April 25, 20232 yr Only 10 solo artists with #1 singles from the 1950s left now… Tony Bennett, Pat Boone, Tommy Steele, Paul Anka, Connie Francis, Jane Morgan, Shirley Bassey, Cliff Richard, Craig Douglas and Jerry Keller.
April 25, 20232 yr RIP Harry Belafonte - Island in the Sun? Apart from Mary's Boy Child, I would have thought Banana Boat Song is his best-known song.
April 25, 20232 yr Banana Boat was a #2 hit so Island In The Sun would make more sense to play if we're avoiding those
April 25, 20232 yr I would love to hear Jamaica Farewell personally, that's my favourite <3 (don't think I actually know Islands in the Sun granted)
April 30, 20232 yr For the RIP slot, can we also have Let It All Blow by The Dazz Band (number 12 in 1984) for their drummer at the time, Isaac Wiley Jr., who died this week.

May 7, 20232 yr Author Probably going to be a slightly late start again today but putting the playlist together now - decided last week that for the remainder I'm going to do 35 #1 albums per week (so a bit shorter than the usual ~45) to split the remaining albums more or less evenly into 4 more sessions. https://sync-tube.de/room/yfweF2_6 Kicking off soonish, feel free to join for 4pm and play a few random songs before we start again B-) will post the #2 albums for the week in a bit ~
