I heard this the other day. Who would have thought that John Walker from the Walker Bros could do justice to such a Sinatra classic.

What do you consider to be the best year ever for popular music and why?
My choice would be 1958 because so many great artists came to prominence in that year - Buddy Holly, Paul Anka, Ricky Nelson, Bobby Darin, Connie Francis, Eddie Cochran, Jerry Leee Lewis, Marty Wilde, Cliff Richard, the Everlys. etc. 45rpm singles LPs began to be commonplace. -
Would you agree on who the scientists decided had the best?
I was surprised

The words of this song seem so poignant now, we could do with leaders in the world that are not obsessed with themselves or money
Sorry, enough of the politics, not the right group

Heard it on the radio this morning on a section called ‘air drums’ chosen by a listener
She said it wasn’t a group we’d think of when it came to drumming and she was right

Elvis (Edited)
Elvis Presley would have been celebrating his 90th birthday on the 8th January, BBC radio has been celebrating this with several programmes about him and his music
Just type Elvis into the search facility on the BBC sounds app to find all of them
Have you a favourite song of his?
I have two 😁 Good Luck Charm and I want to be (your Teddy bear)

The Vivienne at Christmas (Edited)
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0025n53?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile
Hearing of James’s (The Vivienne) untimely death at the age of only 32 , 🥲 reminded me of his/their wonderful Christmas broadcast on Radio Wales. Born and bred in Wales (James) The Vivienne was a scouser 😂😂 -
Incredibly repetitive song by George Harrison but it still makes me smile

Not a Christmas song - but, perhaps 🤔
It has some lovely words, thoughts of how we may have struggled but are fighting back as best we can, carrying on climbing ….

My choice. ELO - Out of the Blue.
If I could choose a non-british album it would be Blondie - Parallel Lines. -

Music and Art . Underwood and Bowie (Edited)
Wasn’t sure which group to put this is in but the fact that it explains why David Bowie had different colour eyes I thought I’d put it in the music group
