This song has just come on to my local radio station (Radio Jackie). How nostalgic is that? Summer of 1976. Best summer ever. Make`s one think about how fast life is passing
I just bought a 70's collection set and it's the best ever easy listening songs / music. I love every single song in the set, and they are songs that are so easy to sing along with.
I remember Johnny Walker announcing the top 20 on a Thursday on radio 1. I can still hear his voice on the radio when I was sitting on my granny`s chicken shed (only place I could get radio reception in the sticks of North Devon) Then the pop charts were repeated on Radio 2 with Ed Stewart on a Sunday. My God, how old am I? How many people would have such fond memories of radio now? Not many, I would think.
Gosh, Box, I remember Radio Luxemburg as well. In the summer of 1976 when I was thirteen, I passed out at the bus stop and ended up in hospital with concussion. As a reward, my mother took me to Timothy Whites in Barnstaple and bought me a radio. i used to listen to it under the bedclothes every night and Radio Luxemburg was a revelation. I remember when they had "Black Friday". i think that`s where I got my appreciation of soul music from
