echo beach Β Β 520 #37 Posted April 9, 2009 Old enough to remember a lot of Crookes' comprehensive list. The first record I bought ( a 78 rpm in 1955 ) was The Ballad of Davy Crockett / Theme from Robin Hood - remember Richard Todd riding through the glen? That followed seeing the film and my Auntie buying me a coonskin cap from Woolworths for my birthday. Next came April Love by Pat Boone and Perry como's Magic Moments / Catch a Falling Star. I must have been a young romantic in those long gone days! After that in 1957 I bought my first E P - remember them? Elvis' Jailhouse Rock. From that point it was onwards and upwards. All those original records have disappeared over the years. Pity, they might be worth something now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Β Bernard Cribbins' Hole In The Ground was at number 10 in March 1962 and spent 7 weeks in the top 20. I'm Crookes and have been compiling the lists. There's a Crookesey, but no Crooksey.

hillsbro Β Β 27 #41 Posted April 10, 2009 ...there was one about a troll who lived under a bridge but i cant recall who sang it. Β That was "Billy Goats Gruff" sung by Frank Luther, based on a Norwegain fairy tale. Β The earliest songs I can remember are "I see the moon, the moon sees me" and "Walkin' my baby back home". Must have been c. 1954 Β I was 61 last week. No flowers by request.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

jfish1936 Β Β 10 #45 Posted April 10, 2009 So disappionting! Over here in Oz we find CDs claiming to be British pops of this period, but they don't seem to have any of the real good ones I remember.
