There was one I loved as a child (that & Puff the Magic Dragon & Nellie the Elephant but they're not relevant to the question!) Swinging on a Star, released long before I was born but I think mum & dad must have had the record, Walking back to Happiness too, Helen Shapiro was a favourite of dads.

Gonna Make you a Star, David Essex at his sexiest,

Good Day Sunshine, Beatles, young fan,

Oh, Moon River, beautifully written.

I'm sure there are many more but the ones above evoke happy memories so thanks Allanah. x :)

Hi nomoreheels, no I haven´t been on here for ages, I have been keeping well thanks, hope you are too. I posted earlier this afternoon though. No I didn`t have a star necklace. Had Marc Bolan feather boa though! Looks like we could be similar ages , both Glamrockers !! I will be 59 at the end of this month, (can`t believe it´s my big 60 next year)

I remember seeing David Essex movie Stardust three times as wearer in love with him and had to smother on makeup to get in !!

nomoreheels profile image
nomoreheels in reply toallanah

I saw That'll be the Day at the pics but I couldn't get in for Stardust, how daft is that! I remember being so shocked about the decline of the character in Stardust when I eventually saw it, how naive was I?
