Wasn't going to have a look in - but glad I did - what memories are invoked with your choices.

Mine is 'Always on My Mind' written by Willie Nelson and made famous by Elvis.

Thanks to Ian D with 'The king of Love..........' - being a choirboy this was very close to being my most favourite
hymn and one that I used when first learning the Clarinet and Piano
 
Mad World
Tears for Fears

Lets stay together
Al Green

and

Bring me sunshine
sung by the wonderful Morecombe and Wise

Hee hee! Yeah I really liked Kate Bush, she was a bit off the wall but there was just something about her. I heard that she had quite a difficult life and didn't carry on with her career because of family responsibilities and so I put her biography DVD on my Lovefilm rental list about 8 months ago and I'm still waiting. :roll:
Oooooh and yesssss ... I love Barry White too.

And what about ...

Dance Me To The End of Love by ... Leonard Cohen ... I could listen to him forever.

3 blasts from my past
 
This is a very old song that I loved and used to sing during my childhood when we watched Harry Seacombe on the box on Sunday evening!

Even though I was a child, the words had meaning for me and still do today.


IF I RULED THE WORLD
Tony Bennett
Words by Leslie Bricusse/Music by Cyril Ornadel

If I ruled the world, ev'ry day would be the first day of spring
Every heart would have a new song to sing
And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring

If I ruled the world, ev'ry man would be as free as a bird,
Ev'ry voice would be a voice to be heard
Take my word we would treasure each day that occurred

My world would be a beautiful place
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams
My world would wear a smile on its face
Like the man in the moon has when the moon beams

If I ruled the world every man would say the world was his friend
There'd be happiness that no man coud end
No my friend, not if I ruled the world
Every head would be held up high
There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky
If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world.

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

They don't make songs like that any more. :roll:

Most of these are Diabetes related in their titles, though some are good for the forum alone.
