Roy Orbison - Crying

youtube.c...ed/-l-AxZIdq4E

A great singer, the only one who was up there with Elvis. Elvis even discribed Roy Orbison as "the greatest singer in the world".

[NoshowJones]

Bobby Darin - Mack the Knife

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SEllHMWkXEU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I'm sorry but this song does not seem to have a good melody, I know it is a popular song, but nowhere as good as "dream lover"

[NoshowJones]

Tommy Roe - Sheila

youtube.c...ed/5IoVeTUAx1I

Oh, This is great, a touch of Buddy Holly.

[NoshowJones]

Del Shannon - The Swiss Maid

youtube.c...ed/eP7myxNqh_I

Yes, great, probably his best.

[NoshowJones]

The Seekers - Just A closer Walk With Thee

I am not religious but what a fantastic voice Judith Durham has.

Yes, she certainly has, country singer George Jones does a great version of this song.

[NoshowJones]

Marianne Faithful - As Tears Go By

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhPPJ5dolxU&feature=related

Not a great singer, but a very sexy voice. a great song.

[NoshowJones]

Allan Sherman - Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh

youtube.c...ed/9jjiWS__Mp0

Awful

[NoshowJones]

Jo Stafford - You Belong To Me

The best female singing voice I ever heard, and I'm a country music fan. Jo Stafford could sing anything.

[NoshowJones]

Gerry & The Pacemakers - You'll Never Walk Alone

youtube.c...ed/kAzdYEnB2zE

Elvis done a far better version of this song.

[NoshowJones]

The Browns - Three Bells

Yes, beautiful.

[NoshowJones]

Billy Fury - Halfway to Paradise

Great stuff

[NoshowJones]

John Leyton - Johnny Remember Me

Great, but could not follow it up

[NoshowJones]

To Know Him Is To Love Him - Teddy Bears

This is beautiful, is this the only song they ever did?

[NoshowJones]

The Rolling Stones - Walking the Dog

youtube.c...ed/GF12siIHAFA

Good musically, but very poor vocally for a five piece band. No harmonies in this band at all, Mick Jagger, no singer, but a ggod showman. If you want to hear a band which was great vocally, instrumentally, and had great harmonies, I give you "The Byrds"

[NoshowJones]

Glen Campbell - Galveston

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/J5txHoV_JXo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Great singer and guitarist.

[NoshowJones]

Elvis Presley - Don't Cry Daddy

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kli1UwBLQzo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

One of his best, so many great songs from a great singer

[NoshowJones]

Normie Rowe - Ooh La La

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dpQvA0xxT5g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Not being Australian, I actually remember this song from the sixties, very good, I wonder what happened to Normie Rowe.

[NoshowJones]

Tom Jones - Green, Green Grass of Home

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/a5IABqwVO2U" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Great song, but I never liked Tom Jones, he had no originality at all. He was just a carbon copy of P J Proby, and not half as good.

[NoshowJones]

The Seekers - Georgy Girl

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/c-GApOqzgWM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Great group, but done a lot better songs than this.

[NoshowJones]

Paul McCartney and Wings - Mull of Kintyre

Yes, I liked this, I actually sang it myself when it first came out, and I played in a Country and Western band.

[NoshowJones]

The Bee Gees - Massachusetts

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Mc5oqjFsT5g?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Yes, a great band, Robin Gibb was a great lead singer with a touch of Roy Orbison about him.

[NoshowJones]

Lonnie Donegan - Battle of New Orleans

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/umcEYz9LJm8?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Yes, I loved this, but feel Johnny Hortons version was the best.

[NoshowJones]

Roy Orbison - Crying

Yes, she certainly has, country singer George Jones does a great version of this song.

Another version of this that tickles my fancy is from the Venice Beach Boys.

No argument from me.

I have to admit that I am a fan of much of what the Rollingstones offered early in their carreer and in particular " Congratulations ".
