Remember having his hit record "Rudolf the red nose reindeer" , 1950 ?.

And the first song I ever learned " You are my sunshine " about 1943...

Did he write " Ghost riders in the sky " as well ?

Cliff Richard, City Hall, around 1963 or 1964

I never wanted to see any pop star except for perhaps Freddy Mercury, but would have liked to have seen Frank Sinatra Live.

 

Saw Queen at City Hall just as "Killer Queen" reached Number 2 in the charts, when they were still a Rock band and featured songs from the first three brilliant albums.

 

Never liked them after that when they became a pop group

It was written by Stan Jones in June 1948. The original version was recorded by Burl Ives in 1949. Gene Autry also recorded his version in 1949.

I saw Emile Ford at the Lyceum in 1961 and he wasn't miming then.

[denlin 12]

Shirley Bassey in the Al Read show "Such is Life" at the Adelphi Theatre, London on a school trip. The same week we saw "The Crazy Gang" at the Victoria Palace Theatre.

 

I never saw them as before my time but can name them all without googling. Nervo and Knox, Naunton and Wayne, Monsieur Eddie Gray and the inimitable Flanagan and Allen - I love their music and have them on vinyl and CD
