Did you like Gracie fields Cap ??

LOL My first record, bought when I was 11, was one none of you probably have ever heard of, titled "Running Bear". Don't remember who it was by, but it was about 2 star-crossed Indian lovers. My sisters and I used to act it out, dramatic little dweebs that we were.

My first album was one of the Osmond Brothers albums but I promise I don't remember which one. I had some Jackson 5 stuff, too. I loved the Bay City Rollers!

Then I graduated to Neil Diamond, Elton John, Simon and Garfunkel, Alice Cooper, ACDC, Cheap Trick and the rest of that genre. I have just about every album that Journey did on CD. (I often have to go reconfiscate them from my younger daughter!)

Now, my latest CD purchases have been Lonestar and Randy Travis.

Running Bear and Little white girl, God I loved that song, how they swam towards each other.

RUNNING BEAR

(J.P. Richardson)

Johnny Preston (Mercury 71474, 1959

On the banks of the river

Stood Runnin' Bear, young Indian brave

On the other side of the river

Stood his lovely Indian maid

Little White Dove was-a her name

Such a lovely sight to see

But their tribes fought with each other

So their love could never be

Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove

With a love big as the sky

Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove

With a love that couldn't die

He couldn't swim the raging river

'Cause the river was too wide

He couldn't reach Little White Dove

Waiting on the other side

In the moonlight he could see her

Throwing kisses 'cross the waves

Her little heart was beating faster

Waiting there for her brave

Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove

With a love big as the sky

Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove

With a love that couldn't die

Runnin' Bear dove in the water

Little White Dove did the same

And they swam out to each other

Through the swirling stream they came

As their hands touched and their lips met

The ragin' river pulled them down

Now they'll always be together

In that happy hunting ground

Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove

With a love big as the sky

Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove

With a love that couldn't die

a variation on romeo and juliet. i loved it too. :yh_yinyan

I'd forgotten all about that song!! I loved it :-6

The first record I ever bought was:

Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" played by;

Jesus Maria Sanroma (there's a name from the past!)

My first album I bought with my money!





My first 45 was "I can't get no Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones.

members - sound of the suburbs

turned out to be a special edition 45 & sold it years later for £50

First album I ever bought was The Fugees "The Score."

Oh dear, the first single i ever bought was "Axel F" the theme from Beverly Hills Cop by Harold Faltermeyer, which you will know know as that bloody crazy frog song. Oh it feels good to finally own up to that. The first proper music I bought was the white album by the Beatles when I was 15 in 1986, thats when things started to get interesting. I am a musician though as a young age I had no interest in music, but I heard Lennons' "I am the Walrus" that summer on the radio and it (as they say) blew me away. From there on in, I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

The first one I ever bought was I wish I could fly by Keith Harris and orvile.

My musical tastes have improved since then.

Thank god someone has a secret past worse than mine! That truly has to be the worst British Top 40 single of all time, or maybe "Agadoo" by the masters of crapness Black Lace. Nah I think Orville is the worst, well things could only have gone up from there Sherry.

I forgot about that one!:wah:

I've just remebered, I did buy Russ Abbot - Atmosphere as well:o

Oh dear, that must be worst single ever number 3, so the 80's was a hard time for you then?

What can I say, I was young, broke and yet to have developed any taste.
