What Music Are You Listening to Now or Your Favourite Songs of All Time

Sad to learn that Chris Rea has died after a long illness.

I bought the album from where this single I have came, on its release.

 

I've always liked this.




Died at 31 of breast cancer, in 1979.

 

I think I had the single of Lovin' You. Always liked it too Mr Riley

 

Music in different forms appeals to many people of different ages.
There's been a revival of interest in vinyl albums.

On a music board, obviously a younger contributor asked the question.
"Have you ever bought the album of a CD already you have?"

Some of us replied in this vein.

"No, but we have bought the CD of the album we've had for decades."

This particularly relates to vintage jazz albums.

These are just two of the albums I bought in my teens, in the late fifties.
These became delisted, but with the advent of CDs, many classic de-listed albums became available again, in the "new" format.

Here's a couple I bought a few decades ago. The CDs saved more wear on some of my favourite albums.

Pre Carpenters Recordings

 

This song was featured in the 1994 film "Pulp Fiction," which was recently shown on TV. It was written and played by Chuck Berry, a very controversial person, but I can't deny he wrote and recorded some great songs.
I've just ripped it from YouTube, videoed it playing and uploaded to my YouTube channel.
