When I Was Young

[MichaelJH]

It's Sunday evening and I have coronavirus fatigue. So for something lighter choose between these two songs. Sorry, polls do not work!

That's cheating Michael, the 1st video is unavailable! 😂

[Milkfairy Heart Star in reply to Lezzers]

Same here however I have never been a big fan of Andy Williams

video 2 gets my vote

[Lezzers in reply to Milkfairy]

Tbh, I don't think I'd vote for either one!! 😂

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Lezzers]

Try this one. YouTube is being tetchy!

Think there is a YouTube/cache issue as two more versions are offered. Maybe Eric is a fellow Jedi?

[SpiritoftheFloyd]

There was a programme on BBC 4 on Friday night a retrospective of the live and music of Eric Burdon - interesting to watch and a much underrated artist

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to SpiritoftheFloyd]

I didnt see it - did not know it was on! Looking back it is hard to say why the Animals didn't take off and last longer than they did.

[SpiritoftheFloyd in reply to MichaelJH]

BBC4 Friday night - still available on iPlayer.

Yes one of life's mysteries. Think they may have spent too much time trying to crack America, where they failed to make the impact they should have done, and in the meantime people in the UK forgot about them in their absence.

Years later!

Haven't seen that before, and at 78 he's still going, was touring in 2019. Love seeing these people from my youth still doing it.

I seen Burt Bacharach in the Liverpool Philarmonic Hall In July 2016 - he was 87 at the time, and I thought that he probably wouldn't tour again due to his age, and that if Burt was prepared to turn up I should also make the effort.

Gobsmacked to see he's still touring at 91 and his website has dates for 2020 & 2021 - don't you just love a trouper!

Version 2 for me. The Animals👍

[MichaelJH Heart Star]

I click Share and copy 'n' paste the link. The problem as you can see it does not always work and I do not know why! ☹️

[Becksagogo]

I found channel 78 on Freeview yesterday. It's a 70s music channel and took me straight back to my youth as does Andy Williams!

[Heythrop51]

The Animals for me!

[Janma123]

Definitely the Animals, always been a big fan!

[Ilovebunnies]

If I had to choose it would be The Animals but would rather have Led Zeppelin (saw them in 1976 in Bristol, was 23 turned 24 next day) or Metallica or still going strong Robert Plant 😍😍😍

[080311]

If I have to choose it would be the Animal’s though would like anything by the Four Tops, a girl of the 60s!

[MydogBrandy]

Absolutely love this song thanks for reminding me about this fantastic group. Have had a word with Alexa to give me more lol x

[MydogBrandy]

Thanks for that so has Ray Sawyer split from the band

[080311 in reply to MydogBrandy]

Hi, Ray Sawyer died end of December 2018, think he was in his 80s use to love his hat! Seemed to go with his eye patch.

[MydogBrandy in reply to 080311]

Ahh bless him, didn’t know x

[MichaelJH Heart Star]

He was 81 when he died so an average innings.

[MydogBrandy in reply to MichaelJH]

Yes at least his we can fondly remember him through the music x

[MydogBrandy]

Yes suppose, so sad x

[MydogBrandy]

Yes , can’t remember reading about it so sad x

[FeetheBookworm]

Eric Burdon - I think his version of War is the definitive one, and I’ve seen Springsteen song it live which was pretty darn good!

[teddy26]

Aw man Eric Burdon singing yer canna beat it! better than all wor tablets !!
