Songs As Old As You (Released/charted In Your Year Of Birth)

Awesome! Nice to not be the only one!

 

Soul Train 1972......
Billy Paul
Me and Mrs. Jones

 

1962

 

1984

 

1960: (Yes - "All those Years Ago")
JOHNNY PRESTON - RUNNING BEAR.
The song even now resonates as an observation of the futility and tragic circumstances of the futility of Love's hope forlorn - and one which one can draw comparison with the insistence desire of some Nations Patriotism - seeing the ordinarily people suffer the worst
- (I was always a child of 'consideration') =

 

Neil Young
Heart of Gold

 

1957

 

1949, so you are really making me feel like an old fossil. LOL

I have no idea what music was popular at the time, but at least most of my favorite operas predate me.

Just done some research. Not a single opera in the 1940s. What was wrong with everyone.???????????????????

 

I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY (1949) by Hank Williams I forgot to put my year 1953.

 

I am not generally a fan of modern music, but this guy can sing and puts some expression into his performance. Jane quite likes country music and I am sure that she has listened to a few Hank Williams records over the years.

One of the funniest moments of my younger days was when a guy who I went to school told me that he was going to see 'the beatles' and I thought that he was going to the insect house at London zoo. LOL.

 

1968

 

I was talking to a twenty something a few years ago about music, and I mentioned the Beatles as one of the trailblazers of rock & roll. He asked me who there were.

 

In 1968, I was showing films to about 2000 people in our local cinema to support my student income.

If someone then had told me that 10 years later I would have given up my medical studies and been showing films to the Queen at the 1978 royal film performance, I would probably offered them some brain surgery. LMAO.

 

This song will never grow old...never....!

 

Thanks for quoting me Eric!
It gave me a great reason to listen to it again just now.

 

I can relate to several experiences that are identical to the lyrics of this song. I had some crazy times when I was younger, bro.
