  3. Good review, John. Sad, that there is not many fans of retro music, but at last there are you and me and we always can talk about good old-fashioned music. I think 60s music was good, maybe not so awesome as in 70s decade and there is not many artists as in 80s and 90s, but many classics were recorded 45-50 years ago and sounds great today. 60s were really underrated in my eyes before. That's why I love to be a gold digger of retro music. John, who is your favourite female singer from 60s ? Dusty, Sandie, Lulu, Cilla or maybe anybody else ?
  4. 23.10.1965 : Jody Miller - Home Of The Brave (2 weeks # 1) http://www.macromusic.com/JodyMiller/graphics/jody3.jpg RXvSxIuf-_o Jody Miller is an American country music singer. She was born in Phoenix and raised in Oklahoma. Discovered by actor Dale Robertson, she began her career in the early 1960s as a folk/pop singer, singing in the Los Angeles area and appearing on Tom Paxton's television series. She released her first album on Capitol Records in 1964 and had a modest pop hit that year with "He Walks Like a Man". In 1965, she participated in the San Remo Festival as a team companion of Pino Donaggio. Since the Festival was created as a composers' competition, Miller and Donaggio presented differently arranged versions of the entry "Io Che Non Vivo (Senza Te)". The song came in on # 7 and was only a moderate hit until Dusty Springfield recorded an English version in 1966 which was eventually released as "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me". Also in 1965, Jody Miller released an answer record to Roger Miller's blockbuster hit "King of the Road", titled "Queen of the House" (which became her signature hit, peaking at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number 5 on the country singles chart). Miller won the Grammy award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance for the song in 1966. Miller also scored a second top 40 pop hit that year with "Home of the Brave", a No. 25 Hot 100 hit (and # 49 in UK) that was historically significant for tackling the issue of noncomformity and tolerance. Ahead of its time, its theme prevented it from making any headway on the more conservative country charts of 1965. By the mid 1960s, Miller became a pioneer crossover female vocalist, opening the doors for Linda Ronstadt, Anne Murray, Olivia Newton-John and others as a pop singer recording a strong country influence and finding success in both genres.
  5. 25.09.1965 : Sandie Shaw - Message Understood (4 weeks # 1) http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y1-LwbAoqAo/T0tO1XW5bMI/AAAAAAAAQDo/ZF-tFteS7pw/s200/Sandie%20Shaw%20disco%203.jpg kb63bpIM4nA "Message Understood" is the sixth single by British singer Sandie Shaw. Released in September 1965, it was written by Shaw's usual songwriter Chris Andrews, and became her fifth consecutive top-ten hit single in the UK Singles Chart, reaching number six. Her third vintage # 1 hit.
  6. 18.09.1965 : Sonny And Cher - I Got You Babe (1 week # 1) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fb/SonnyAndCherIGotYouBabeFrench7InchSingleCover.jpg 80QHRTQ3Kmw Sonny Bono, a songwriter and record producer for Phil Spector, wrote the lyrics to and composed the music of the song for himself and his then-wife, Cher, late at night in their basement. "I Got You Babe" became the duo's biggest single, their signature song, and a defining recording of the 60s decade. In August 1965, the single spent three weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in United States, where it sold more than 1 million copies and was certified Platinum. The duo's single also reached #1 in United Kingdom where it sold 1,200,000 copies and was subsequently included on their first album "Look at Us". This single became a huge hit in the most world charts (# 1 in Canada, # 2 in Ireland, # 3 in Australia and Germany, # 4 in Netherlands and Sweden, # 6 in Austria and Norway)

    Germany vs Croatia in 1998. I and my sister supported German team from Euro 1996, when they won. That lose was a little tragedy for us. :lol: It was the first and last World Cup, which I watched in all my life. I prefer rugby union and cricket, than football.

  14. 31.07.1965 : Marianne Faithfull - Summer Nights (3 weeks # 1) http://www.7inchrecords.com/Discography/MarianneFaithfull/SsummernightsDK.jpg T2el7B1fmZY Her fourth top 10 single in UK and the second # 1 in my retro charts.
  15. 03.07.1965 : Jackie Trent - When The Summertime Is Over (5 weeks # 1) http://rymimg.com/lk/f/a/1436fd406c9963cebee2dfca48bc36a1/4181355.jpg qwxKU_53Bvs Single was released in July 1965, written by Tony Hatch and follow up to Jackie's no 1 hit "Where are you now", this song reached only # 39 in UK chart. Petula Clark's 1966 hit, "I Couldn't Live Without Your Love" was inspired by the ongoing affair between Trent and Hatch, and they subsequently went public with their relationship. A year later, they were married in Kensington, London. Although she recorded several singles and albums, both as a solo artist and in tandem with her husband, Trent was more successful as a songwriter rather than a singer. In addition to their compositions for Clark, over the years she and Hatch wrote a wealth of material for other artists, including Frank Sinatra, Jack Jones, Nancy Wilson, Des O'Connor, Val Doonican, Vikki Carr, and Dean Martin.
  16. 05.06.1965 : Cadets & Eileen Reid - Jealous Heart (4 weeks # 1) http://www.irishshowbandalbum.com/resources/cad38.jpg 4lgvzpBq-Eg Formed in Dublin in 1962, the Cadets quickly became one of the most popular showbands - ensembles of usually six people or more, doing dance-oriented American-style music, including rock & roll, country, R&B, and soul - in the Irish capitol. Their success was partly a reflection of the popularity of their lead singer, Eileen Reid, whose powerful voice and effective intonation, coupled with good looks topped off with a huge beehive hairdo, made her one of the most popular young singers in the country. They were initially signed by Decca Records but switched to the Pye label soon after their first single, "Hello Trouble," faltered. With Pye they enjoyed a string of Irish hits, hitting number one with their version of the Jim Reeves song "Fallen Star," and following it up with another smash, "I Gave My Wedding Dress Away" - the Cadets also charted a few records in England (include "Jealous Heart" at # 42) and were among the few Irish showbands to get featured on British television, including "Thank Your Lucky Stars". The group, whose repertory favored country songs, played on Johnny Cash's and June Carter Cash's late- 1963 tour of Ireland, and they rated an introduction to the Beatles when they toured Ireland that same year. They even managed to tour America briefly in 1964, and had their own radio show in Dublin. The Cadets lasted until 1970, two years after Reid's exit following her marriage to Jimmy Day.

  18. 15.05.1965 : Sandie Shaw - Long Live Love (3 weeks # 1) http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/224x224/p01bqdy7.jpg At8as-jujIs "Long Live Love" is a Chris Andrews composition which, in 1965, gained Sandie Shaw the second of her three UK number one hit singles and second # 1 in my vintage charts. Shaw was sufficiently confident in the hit potential of the buoyant "Long Live Love" as to turn down the chance to record "It's Not Unusual", allowing the song to be given to Tom Jones and become his first hit. "Long Live Love" did spend three weeks at No 1 in the UK in June 1965, also giving Shaw a No 1 hit in Ireland and New Zealand. A Top Ten hit in Netherlands (# 7) and Norway (# 8), "Long Live Love" was also a hit in Australia (# 12) and Belgium, reaching # 15 on the latter territory's Dutch language chart. In United States "Long Live Love" received enough regional attention to return Shaw to the Billboard Hot 100 for the third and last time, with # 97 peak.
  19. 24.04.1965 : Jackie Trent - Where Are You Now, My Love ? (3 weeks # 1) http://www.jackietrent.com/communities/2/004/008/207/552/images/4537600613_265x267.jpg xJLESaA_XrA Jackie Trent is an English singer-songwriter and actress. Her first stage appearance was as a ten-year-old ingenue in the pantomime "Babes In The Wood", but her primary interest was a career in pop music. Her first single, "Pick Up the Pieces", was released in 1962, but it was not until PYE Records record labels and three years later that she scored her first hit, "Where Are You Now" which was featured in the popular TV series "It's Dark Outside" and was written by Tony Hatch & Trent, who at that time were involved in a successful professional collaboration with Petula Clark. "Where Are You Now" reached number one in the UK Singles Chart in May 1965, topping the chart for one week. The song was written and recorded in just four days after Tony Hatch was asked by Granada TV to produce a song for the female lead in the programme to be seen on screen playing to herself. The lyrics were written by Jackie Trent in Christmas 1964, just before she headed off to South Africa on a three month tour. When the song first hit the screen, people contacted TV Times to ask where they could get it and the rush was on to get it into the shops. The song went to number one in May 1965, knocking the Beatles "Ticket to Ride" off number one.

  23. 06.03.1965 : Kathy Kirby - I Belong (7 weeks # 1) http://www.mattmonro.com/bitmapmurph/kathy_kirby/kathy1.jpg OeDI52bdntQ "I Belong" was the United Kingdom' entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1965 held in Naples at March 21, 1965. By the close of voting, it had received 26 points, placing it 2nd from 18 participants. Performed in English by Kathy Kirby, the song is sung from the perspective of a woman who express your love by someone, she has loved for the first time in her life: "But now my heart has recovered. From past affairs that turned wrong. All my dreams are uncovered. I belong, I belong, I belong" Eurovision classic. One from the best British songs in this song contest. Sad, that she was a ESC participant in one year with France Gall. The single wasn't successful in UK with a peak position at # 36.
  24. 13.02.1965 : Babbity Blue - Don't Make Me (Fall In Love With You) (3 weeks # 1) http://www.audiophileusa.com/covers400water/83630.jpg lKssJoURNGc Babbity Blue was actually born as Barbara Chalk but renamed by her managers after she attended an audition for their company at the age of seventeen. Unlike many of her contemporaries she never established herself as a touring act, but instead relied on television and radio exposure to bring her records to the public's attention. Her first single "Don't Make Me (Fall In Love With You)" reached # 48 in UK. Obviously the gambit failed, and after her follow-up single "Don't Hurt Me" completely failed to register she disappeared from sight. Two decades after this song also was released on "Girl Zone" compilation with some 60s pop stars (Lulu, Kathy Kirby, Marianne Faithfull).
