It's seems now I have cracked the way to put a track on this blog with the help of "Bobbinbob" from "From The Vaults"...Thanks Bob !!
Sooooooooo you can expect a track on most of the posts from now on...They will be IMHO tracks that I think are the best ones that are on the L/P...so I hope you have a listen to them.
60 Top hits from the 60's all played non stop.... that is till the "Stylus" comes to the end of the record or middle to be precise !!....some tracks are cut short so you don't actually get the whole of the song....BUT as it was made for a "Party" I don't suppose anybody would notice !!!
Although this is not the Film Soundtrack unless you are a devoted lover of the film and know every word and notes of the songs....This version by "The Pickwick Grease Monkey's" could fool you into believing it was !!....If you don't listen too closely !!.....Its a good version and was well worth the "Money"...whatever that was !!!

You can't say this "Blog" is not diverse in its Music !!...with a Sing-a-Long on top of "David Bowie !!.....a 28 set of vintage songs to sing a long to and maybe have a jig or two !!
Back home now after a good rummage round the Record Store...thanks "John" !!
weather at the moment in Leicester is not very good been raining all day lets hope tomorrow it will be better.......Right back to business first one from "David Bowie" by the look of him I should think that this one of his early recordings date on record is 1971 !.....I'm just wondering if the single of "Life On Mars" is a different version from the one on here ??

From one great voice to another...This selection of songs includes one of the songs that put her firmly on the musical map !!!...of course it must be the title track !!
Another "Jim Webb" production....Another great voice I seemed to have missed !!!
In 1969, Houston released her debut album, entitled Sunshower, produced, arranged and composed by Jimmy Webb except for one track.[1] In 1971 she signed with Motown Records but her early recordings with them were largely unsuccessful.[1] Her most notable single during that period was "You've Been Doing Wrong for So Long" which peaked at #64 on the U.S. Billboard R&B chart in 1974.[1] However Houston's vocal prowess on that track secured her a nomination for a Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. In 1973 Motown Productions announced a projected biopic of Dinah Washington which would star Houston; however the project was dropped due to difficulties in getting clearance from Washington's relatives.[3] In April 1974 Houston joined the cast of The Marty Feldman Comedy Machine, playing various characters during the show's skits. The show was canceled in August and for the next several years her work was limited to demo recordings and performing at small venues.
I'm still in "John's record store" and finding some real gems....I guess you would call this a "Concept" Album !!....all tracks except one written by "Jim Webb" he produced it as well so it looks like it was his "Baby" !!....This is one of those L/P's that you have to listen to it more than once to get to appreciate it !!
