He did a good job, imo.

Charles Aznavour was also of migrant origin btw, Armenian.
Where would we be without migrants, right? The Dutch Golden Age Republic wouldn't have existed without them, which means that the Netherlands wouldn't have existed.

 

very true, i think sometimes the best music comes through struggle and hardship

without the blues and rock n roll (which certainly wasn't a reflection of white music at the time/ or genesis of it)

would there have been a beatles even, probably not

 

its my go to ukulele song, the chords fit with a uke about as possible as a song could

i love the way it builds and releases in utter love for someone

 

he also said he never liked his song..I write the book......... till he heard someone sing it slow...... he said lots of things...

 

might have been the ron sexsmith cover i bet, i know he covered it

another brilliant underrated artist

 

Loved that track years ago.

 

When I hear Aznavour, Montand,and especially Charles Trenet's 'La Mer', it takes me back to 50 cent foreign movie nights during college. Cheap wine,smoke and sometimes a generous girl.Blabbing about art,politics, and the mysterious cinema of Godard and Resnais.

 

totally forgot this was someone elses thread again by the way so apologies CS

 

It's ruined

 

Sorry Chin-Took a serious detour down Memory Lane, one way ticket to Nostalgiaville.

 

when theres music involved bosk if can only but beautify a thread................unless we have any cliff richards fans of course

 

i know the name, but that's about all.

 

Too true Charlie,except for one piece Cliff and The Drifters (Shadows) did, their 1958 debut single-'Move It'. Even Lennon liked that one,and he didn't suffer pop-pap quietly.

 

interesting, not familiar with that age of cliff, but not bad at all

you did lead me down a guided path with the lennon affiliation though, thats like dipping it in golden sugar

 

OMG, what have we done!

Apologies Chin, got a bit carried away.

 

Seriously? Cliff Richard?

 

Just the first '58 release gang.Be at peace-the virus ends with that one disc

 

Local band is playing Beatles music at outdoor venue this afternoon, so I'm going to have 2 straight hours of nostalgia!

 

talk about nostalgia, the bbc put on the whole live aid concert last night. 1985 so i would have been about 8 at the time

but could still remember that certain heartbreaking clip with drive (by the cars) playing in the background and even some of the images

i would have never chose to watch it, but did as it was just on, but thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing, marvellous

i did see one thing that i couldn't believe though, don't think i've ever seen it with an adult brain before, and that was the music video they showed, is this a wind up?.............one of the most embarrassing things i think i've ever seen, from 2 legends none the less

 

those guys were having fun.......as only the Greats can..!!!!!
