Glad you enjoyed it!

Found them! Return of the Living Dead 3 👍😊

Thanks Cathy!

It was and still is great music. Tangerine Dream were the real founding fathers of Techno or Tech House, which is danceable. That music is still big today, and this material released in the mid-1990s obviously still works. I recently watched the film Thief (1981) again starring James Caan and Tuesday Weld, TD did the soundtrack, and THAT still works in 2024 ... over 43 years later.

You are wrong, dead wrong. This is Marcie Blane's version. Correct? Okay. here it is, from Wikipeda: "Blane's version of the song was released in the United States in August, 1962. It has a spoken introduction and a backing refrain of "You're not a kid anymore" and was popular with the American teenage audience. It entered the charts in October and made the Top 10 within a month, reaching No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 by December, where it stayed for four weeks. It reached No. 2 on the Cash Box chart, staying on the charts for nineteen weeks, and made Blane (very briefly) the top-selling female singer in the US." So, not only did it make #3 on Billboard's Hot 100, but it actually did better on Cash Box peaking at #2. This was in December 1962 when it first peaked, so it counts as a #3 and a #2 hit for 1962 (in case you are going to try to say it was a 1963 hit). I actually should have said it was #2 hit and not a #3 hit if I did anything wrong, because I believe Cash Box was a better Top 100 chart. Why was Cash Box better than Billboard? Because they also included jukebox receipts of the songs played whereas Billboard never factored in jukebox sales.

@@mikemunrowsretro8973 First, I don't give a damn about Cash Box, Billboard has always been the gold standard for record sales and charts...all of the Joel Whitburn books are based on Billboard, not CAsh Box, and there's a reason for it. And if you are talking about standings FOR THE YEAR 1962, on Billboard, Shelley fared much higher than Marcie did with her one-hit wonder. And that's what I go by...Billboard...like most people do.

The album version is long (both sides of an LP), and Oldfield's composition is fabulous. But this single is a rarity in the way in which it was mixed, including a more distinctive lead guitar part.

Thanks John! I agree its origins were different than what I represented in this video. But that use of an electric banjo gave it a definite carny flavour I just could not resist working with.

@ they have a video telling the story about that trip. After seeing the lady dance. They said we gotta have a song for this.

@@johnegli1308 I think too one dead giveaway that this is a bar is the lyrics about the bar tables. Thanks for the info on the Hollies video. May check it out.

It's not. I use all kinds of footage in my videos to go along with the song I am working with. Sometimes I find myself doing the opposite, I may work with footage for a song, not like it, and find a better song, although I am usually not that far into the video when that happens. Occasionally lightning strikes and I have an idea for a song right away. Sometimes though I will do the original music for a film and do a visual essay to go with that music, such as my video for "Town Without Pity" by Gene Pitney, where I featured the film as his song was part of the theme music for it. That may have been my best video made in 2019.

@mikemunrowsretro8973 I will check it out. I have been going through your videos as time allows. I savor each experience. Btw my comment was not serious. The song tempo fit the dance quite humorous.

I'm sure Frank Sinatra covered this one. A lot of the major singers did. I got this from an album featuring some hits as well as covers and non-hits by Neil Sedaka and liked it so much I did the video. For me a song doesn't have to be a hit single to be worth making a video out of it. In fact, probably half the songs I have done are covers or deep cuts or music that is otherwise obscure.

@mikemunrowsretro8973 yes I noticed. You have a deep catalogue of music knowledge. I was thinking you should do a smoking video for the song Nicotine by Paul Chaplain and the Emeralds. There's lots of good smoking scenes in old footage plus the smoke could be put to some creative use visually - just an idea.

They all worked over that same treasure trove of songs. There wasn't that singer as songwriter dynamic that flourished later. You might be too young to remember but there was a show called Your Hit Parade and all they did were the same songs all known as " standards" The singer's didn't write they were known as "coroners" even big deal Elvis didn't write songs. That is why the British invasion gave us artists who were much more talented and worthy of praise.

@@frankwalton7323 That's one of my weak spots. I grew up in a time when smoking was normal. Even after I gave up cigarettes in 1985, it was still normal activity. Somewhere along the way, guys got the idea that seeing a woman smoke a cigarette was somehow "hot." But it was so commonplace, I never have been able to see it that way. But your ideas seem to add another dimension to smoking, so perhaps I might consider it ... if I like the song.

Crooners sorry

Another of my favorite jukebox hits in summer '68. I plunked in plenty of coin to hear this one.

Absolutely! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Frank. Will do!

You are welcome!

Thanks so much! This one was hugely popular on my previous channel.

I'm glad you like it! Thanks so much for watching. There is a counterfeit copy of this video that shows up on the RUclips search engine that someone stole from me 6 years ago that has a lot of views, a lot more than my original here is getting. I originally uploaded this at RUclips over 9 years ago.

It has a lot of special meaning to me.

Thanks for listening. I have never tired of this song nor the second compilation it appeared on, Through The Past, Darkly.

Good to know, Steve! I guess RUclips is keeping me down anyway they can.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks!

Thanks so much!

You're so welcome!
