Fave songs from way back when!!

[Sean Regan]

Here's a song I heard today, whilst changing channels.

This is Julia Stiles dancing to it in a café in a cheap film from 2004.

The full song is here, by Marc Cohn, I quite liked it.

She starred as Nicky Parsons, in the same year in the Bourne Supremacy, at the age of 23.

She reprised this role in the Bourne Ultimatum in 2007. It shocked me a bit that she seemed to have aged quite a bit in the intervening years.

I've a huge file of mp3s of "Girl Groups of the Sixties." I pinched from a music message board,

Many of these are long forgotten and made covers of songs made more popular by more familiar names, But there's some good songs amongst them, well sung. I prefer this to the following two.

The Cookies

Tammi Terrell.

(My favourite Motown era singer, tragically died at 25 from a brain tumour in 1970).

Even more well known.

The Shirelles.

I've got that 45 in one of my jukeboxes.

This is the "B" side.

My wife said she'd heard this tune in an episode of "Cold Case" on TV and could I get the record? All she could tell me was that it was a tune about Coca Cola, but I knew what it could only be. I got it on eBay, it had to come from the Netherlands and cost me thirteen quid! The most I've paid for a 45.

I taught myself to play that Skeeter Davis tune today, "I can't stay mad at you."

It's a bit ironic as as Carole King wrote the music and Gerry Goffin the lyrics.

She must have "got mad" permanently at his infidelities as she eventually divorced him.
