Monster Hit in N.Z. This song tells the story of a couple’s marriage, their trip to Paris and Amsterdam and their life in general. The singer complains in song of people’s attitude to the events which immediately preceded and followed the marriage in Gibralter. The 14th of this group’s 17 numbers ones to reach the top in the second week on the UK chart and was also No 1 in Germany, Austria, Holland, Norway, Spain, Belguim, Denmark, Malaysia and Australia. No 2 in New Zealand.
US#1(8) from 16 June 1956 and a Huge Hit in N. Z. This artist's 2nd million-seller, after 'Suddenly There's A Valley' from the year before. The singer was almost 80yrs old when she sang this song in 2004
Daphne commented, Also I see a song you are planning for later in June and the artist also sang “Suddenly There’s a valley”
Would that be Gogi Grant? She sure looks great if that’s a picture of her – bet she isn’t nearly 80 then!
UK#1(7) from 13 June 1970, for a group that had no drummer, so the leader was also the group ‘stomper’. The leader of the group had been doing live shows since the age of 14, and his band the Good Earth were a popular live attraction, able to do shows anywhere in the UK at short notice, with a set that ranged from rockabilly to blues and skiffle
And the songs;
1pm, Procol Harum – Whiter Shade Of Pale
2pm, Mungo Jerry – In The Summertime
3pm, Gogi Grant – The Wayward Wind
4pm, Beatles – Ballad Of John And Yoko
5pm, Fleetwood Mac – In Dreams
I think that was the order I played the songs
