Retro Runners - First Single Bought Playlist Released

Hi all you lovely people and a very Happy New Year to one and all

Having promised Millsie-J that I’d post this today, here is the first of our playlists for 2019.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did - I tested it yesterday and it seemed to work beautifully - except just for one track, which isn’t really my cup of tea... run report here jancanrun.com/2019/01/08/7-...

Got it Jan, just downloaded that playlist on to my Smartphone and pressed the green button (heart) on the phone to add as a favourite. Thanks, I notice that the track I asked for is on it, Cliff Richards Living Doll.

[Hidden in reply to AlMorr]

That’s the plan, except for the occasional ‘I really can’t stand that song’ - most go on my lists, because it’s a reminder that we are all different ages and have different tastes in music, but we all like running. Glad you like it, another theme coming later this month..

[Razouski]

Wow, what a list, it has given me a trip down memory lane - I may have to select some of these to run to too.

[Hidden in reply to Razouski]

I know some of it was a real memory test for me, but David Bowie is often appearing on the lists and so too are the 80s (although that may have a lot to do with editor’s bias)

[BaddieThePirate Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Can't beat the eighties for music!

[Millsie-J Graduate]

Thank you Jan, i shall enjoy running to these xxx

[Hidden in reply to Millsie-J]

Notice whose choice was in bold??? Next theme due in a couple of weeks.... I hope the playlist works out nicely for you

[Millsie-J Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I did in did Jan , thank you 😀xxxxxx

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Love it.. I have fished out all my Gene Pitney songs.. and ahd a nostalgic look at the programme from the last time I saw him in his last UK tour!!! sigh !!!

[Hidden in reply to Oldfloss]

I like him too, I especially liked it when he partnered with Marc Almond and underrated singer imho

[Razouski in reply to Hidden]

I sang backing vocals for Marc Almond once upon a time. It was a Marc and the Mambas concert at the Royal Festival Hall about 7 years ago. He wasn’t quite what he’d been in the ‘80s and ‘90s but I was still thrilled. 🤪

[Hidden in reply to Razouski]

You see this is precisely why you’re a running hero - bloody good runner and singer, with cracking music taste also. The real deal!

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

I know what you mean... that Berlin track irritates me too 😂. Just kidding, and many apologies!

[Hidden in reply to UnfitNoMore]

You don’t like Take That either? Can’t say I’m surprised, thought New Seekers were much more your vibe!😜🎤🎤🎤🎤🎼🎼🎼🎼🎸🎸🎸

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Take that? They were great in the years they weren’t making albums.

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate]

Love it Jan....I will be test driving this one later....brrrrrr it's a bit nippy out there today...even the dog didn't want to go out today and he will do anything to sniff a lamp post!!! Wrap up then peel off, that's me!! Happy running xxx
