The Edwin Davids Jazz Band ~ Yakety Sax (Benny Hill Theme Tune) (1983)

TheOldrecordclub 2021-03-11 | Carrying on here with the snow theme with this catchy little tune by "The Edwin Davids Jazz Band" There have been so many versions of this tune over the years, which was made very famous after being used in the British comedy show "The Benny Hill Show" which was something i used to love watching.. I believe the original version of this tune was by "Boots Randolph" but i think this version was probably the most popular, well at least it was in the UK anyway, and i think this one was released about 1983, but not 100% sure on that, and I thought i would quickly squeeze this video in before the warmer weather arrives here in the UK.. Hope all my friends and subscribers out there are all keeping fit and well.. Thanks for watching... Carl

TheOldrecordclub 2020-12-23 | This song by the British band "Sniff 'n' the Tears" was on their debut album, "Fickle Heart"..

This song only got to number 42 in the UK singles chart in 1979, which is such a shame as i think it's a really great song.. While i am here i would like to take this opportunity in wishing all my friends and subscribers a Merry Christmas, and let's hope the coming New Year will be a much happier and safer one for us all.. Please all take care out there... Carl

Lyrics
On the restless road to nowhere
There's no certain peace it seems
Desire to keep on moving
Till the river of dreams
Is it just because someone told you
Is it just because you found
Old freedom feels uneasy when duty is around
When allegiance asks the questions
Old freedom twists and turns
And chokes on codes of honour
On the sword of no return
And it's the curse of the traveller
The curse of the traveller
Got a hold of me
And it won't let you be
And in sleepless nights
You'll call her name
And feel loneliness cold to the bone
And when the daylight breaks
This old tired heart aches
To be such a long way, such a long way from home
And you long for the harbourlights
But you'll never be free
Of the craving for refuge
And the call of the sea
Always wanting to sell up
But always needing to buy
So till the road leads to somewhere
And that river runs dry
It's the curse of the traveller
Ain't gonna let you be
The curse of the traveller
And it sure got a hold of me

Jimmy Jones ~ Good Timin (1960)

The footage here is of the 59 club, which was a rockers club actually set up by the Reverend "Bill Shergold" In Hackney Wick East London, and this man turned out to be a bit of a celebrity in the 60's, known as the Biker Priest, and the ton-up Vicar.. At one point this club had over 4000 members.. It just goes to show if the older generation and religious people like the man here, meet the younger generation on their level, then a good connection between the two can take place... Am off to bed in a while as it's getting late here, but will catch up with my friends videos tomorrow...

Dionne Warwick ~ Walk on By (1963)

Randy Crawford ~ Rainy Night In Georgia (1981)

TheOldrecordclub 2018-08-03 | This beautiful song covered here by 'Randy Crawford" was released in 1981, but the original goes way back to 1967 where it was first recorded by "Tony Joe White" but the most popular version i would say was the one done by "Brook Benton" which was done in 1970, but i have always prefered this version, but i also quite like the one done by "Ray Charles"...

Piero Umiliani ~ Mah Na Mah Na (1968)

TheOldrecordclub 2018-07-13 | Before i write anything about the song here i just want to thank everyone who has subscribed to my channel, and i mean everyone, every single one of you, as if it was not for you my channel would not be where it is today, so a great BIG thanks to you all..

This is yet another great singer who was taken far too early in life as she died at the age of 31 from breast cancer... i lost someone close to me a number of years ago to Breast cancer so i know very well just how devastating this cancer in particular can be.. The footage here was all filmed close to my home in North Devon, with the first clip being Saunton Sands, the second clip being in Ilfracombe, and the Third clip in Fremington... Am off to bed shortly as it's quite late here in the Philippines and i need to be up early, so i will wish you all a good night...

10cc ~ Dreadlock Holiday (1978)

TheOldrecordclub 2018-06-08 | This awesome song by "10cc" which was released in 1978 made number 1 in the UK charts, and it was to be their last number 1 in the UK.. This song also reached number 44 on the Billboard Hot 100.. The Lyrics to this song were inspired by real events that happened to 10cc's "Eric Stewart" and "Justin Hayward" of The Moody Blues when they went on holiday together.. I won't go into any more detail but it was one scary time had by "Justin Hayward"...

Kate Bush ~ Army Dreamers (1980)

TheOldrecordclub 2018-01-05 | Am dedicating this video to the brave servicemen/women of the British armed forces who have given their lives for their country, especially the very young ones who never had a chance to live their lives to the full.. This song by “Kate Bush” which was released in 1980 made it to number 16 in the UK charts.. The song is about the effects of war and about a mother who grieves for her young adult son, who was killed on military manoeuvres.. Saddened by his death, she wrestles with her guilt over her sons death, and what she could have done to prevent it.. Hope the end part of this video does not upset too many people, but our fallen heroes should never be forgotten.. The lyrics are a bit sad but I have added them below in case you want to read them...
Army Dreamers
(Mommy's hero
B.F.P.O
Mommy's hero)

Our little army boy
Is coming home from B.F.P.O
I've a bunch of purple flowers
To decorate a mommy's hero

Mourning in the aerodrome
The weather warmer, he is colder
Four men in uniform
To carry home my little soldier

[Hook:]
("What could he do?
Should have been a rock star.")
But he didn't have the money for a guitar
("What could he do?
Should have been a politician.")
But he never had a proper education
("What could he do?
Should have been a father.")
But he never even made it to his twenties
What a waste
Army dreamers

What a waste of
Army dreamers

Tears o'er a tin box
Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know
Like a chicken with a fox
He couldn't win the war with ego
Give the kid the pick of pips
And give him all your stripes and ribbons
Now he's sitting in his hole
He might as well have buttons and bows

("What could he do?
Should have been a rock star.")
But he didn't have the money for a guitar
("What could he do?
Should have been a politician.")
But he never had a proper education
("What could he do?
Should have been a father.")
But he never even made it to his twenties
What a waste --
Army dreamers
Oh What a waste of
Army dreamers
Oh What a waste of
Army dreamers
Army dreamers
Army dreamers

[Kate humming]

(Army Dreamers)

(Mommy's hero)

(B.F.P.O)

(Army Dreamers)

(Mommy's hero)

(B.F.P.O)
(No hard heros)
(Mommy's hero)
(B.F.P.O)
(Army Dreamers)
(Mommy's hero)
(B.F.P.O)
(No hard heros)

Simon Dupree & The Big Sound ~ Kites (1967)

TheOldrecordclub 2017-12-29 | This cool tune by the British psychedelic band "Simon Dupree & The Big Sound" was released in 1967 and made it to number 9 in the UK charts..

Percy Faith ~ Theme From a Summers Place (1959)

TheOldrecordclub 2017-12-15 | This beautiful instrumental by "Percy Faith and his Orchestra" was released in September 1959, but it was not an immediate hit for him, and it was not until February 1960 that it hit the top spot on The Billboard Hot 100 where it spent 9 consecutive weeks at number 1, and it also reached number 2 in the UK charts.. The footage here is of the North Devon coastline which is a 15 minute drive from my home in England, but here in the Philippines at my other home it's very late and i am off to bed, but i will be stopping by my friends channels in the morning and catching up on their videos.. Goodnight...

The Piglets ~ Johnny Reggae (1971)

TheOldrecordclub 2017-12-01 | This catchy little song by "The Piglets" was released in 1971 and got to number 3 in the UK charts, and the song was written by "Jonathan King" .. I just love this song, and i love the accent of the London girl here.. The Skinhead culture among the youth in England first started about 1969 i think, and my older brother was an original skinhead back then, but i never had my hair cropped until the very late 70's early 80's.. They mainly followed Ska & Reggae music which i still love to this day..

Dave Brubeck ~ Take Five (1959) (London)

TheOldrecordclub 2017-11-17 | Here we have probably my second favourite instrumental of all time, and even though this beautiful instrumental was released in late 1959, i have gone for a 60's theme for this video as all the footage here was in the 1960's and filmed in London.. This tune was played throughout the 60's, and in my opinion symbolizes the 1960's, and it was used in many TV programs and films during this period, and made it to number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 5 on Billboard's Easy Listening chart in 1961, two years after its initial release.. This one was also re-recorded in 1961 with lyrics written by Dave Brubeck and his wife Lola.. Put your headphones on for this one, its totally awesome...

Odyssey ~ Native New Yorker (1977)

TheOldrecordclub 2017-10-27 | This fantastic disco song by “Odyssey” was released in 1977 and got to number 5 in the UK charts and number 21 on The Billboard Hot 100.. This is a very good song, and i hope you like the footage i have used here, and the man at the beginning of this video in my opinion is a legend, and the star of this video, hope he didn't hurt himself when he fell over (Grin) i think i would love to visit New York...

Sonny & Cher ~ 500 Miles (1965)

TheOldrecordclub 2017-10-20 | Once again we have a song here that has been covered many times by many people, but i would say this version by "Sonny & Cher" which was released in 1965 would be my favourite, and it was on their album "Look at Us".. Also This version was played over the credits of the 1966 BBC TV film "Cathy Come Home".. All the footage here was filmed in the UK... Another version of this song that i like very much was the one by "The Journeymen" but that version would be more suited to my folk channel...

Bronski Beat ~ It Aint Necessarily So (1984)

TheOldrecordclub 2017-10-13 | There have been many versions of this song over the years, but this one by "Bronski Beat" which was released in 1984 is probably my favourite, and it made number 16 in the UK charts.. The footage here is of when me, Yvonne and Tilly took a late night ride home in Iligan City, in a "Bajaj Re" and if you want to know what that is, well it's basically a Trike with a roof on it (smile) The driver let me go up into the front for a while to try it for size, but there was not much leg room for me lol, but hey it was a real fun ride home...

Lou Reed ~ Walk On The Wild Side (1972)

TheOldrecordclub 2017-09-22 | This song by "Lou Reed" which was produced by "David Bowie" was released in 1972 and made it to number 10 in the UK charts, and number 16 on the Billboard hot 100... The song received wide radio coverage, despite its touching on taboo topics, such as trans-sexuality, drugs, male prostitution, and oral sex... The lyrics, describing a series of individuals and their journeys to New York City, refer to several of the regular "superstars" at Andy Warhol's New York studio, The Factory, namely Holly Woodlawn, Candy Darling, Joe Dallesandro, Jackie Curtis and Joe Campbell (referred to in the song by his nickname Sugar Plum Fairy). Candy Darling was also the subject of Reed's earlier song for The Velvet Underground, "Candy Says"… I really like this song and love the saxophone bit in it, and I hope you like this old Cini camera footage which was filmed in the 70’s at the same time of this songs release, I thought it went really well with this song…

Simon & Garfunkel ~ El Condor Pasa (If I Could) (1970)

TheOldrecordclub 2017-09-15 | This beautiful version of “El Condor Pasa” (if I could) was released in 1970 and made it to number 18 on the Billboard hot 100, but this tune actually goes way back to 1913 where it was composed by “Daniel Alomis Robles” There has been over 4000 versions of this tune over the years, along with 300 sets of lyrics, but this version is one of my very favourites...

Max Harris ~ Gurney Slade (1960)

TheOldrecordclub 2017-08-10 | Sadly this video is not available to be listened to on mobile devices, so this is very much going to limit the views I get, as most people watch videos on YT these days on mobile devices, but hey never mind I have still uploaded this fine tune by “Max Harris” which was released in 1960 and it got to number 11 in the UK charts.. This theme tune was also used in the TV series “Strange World Of Gurney Slade” which stared “Anthony Newley” The footage I have used here was of the mods and Rockers of the 60’s going about their thing, including fighting on the seafronts on bank holiday Mondays, and some things never change lol…

Raymond Lefèvre ~ Soul Coaxing (Ame Câline) (1968)

TheOldrecordclub 2017-07-13 | This lovely instrumental was released in 1968 but sadly only made it to number 46 in the UK singles chart, but it done a bit better over in the U.S making it to number 37 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart... It was often used as a theme tune for Radio Caroline, Radio Luxembourg and other radio stations, including some in the United States. Hope you like the footage i have used for this video, as it really is "Soul Coaxing"...

Jethro Tull ~ Living in The Past (1969)

TheOldrecordclub 2017-06-30 | I really do like this song from the British band “Jethro Tull”, and it was released in 1969 and was also on the album of the same name which was released in 1972.. This song actually got to number 3 in the UK charts when it was originally released, and when the album came out In 1972 this song went to number 11 in the billboard hot 100 over in the U.S.. I have heard many younger people say how they wish they grew up in the 60’s with all the fine music that was around then, and there sure was some fine music and singers around in the 60’s, so with this video clip here one can see some people from this time at one of the greatest outdoor music concerts ever held “WOODSTOCK” which was also held in 1969...

The Shadows ~ Shindig (1963)

TheOldrecordclub 2017-06-09 | With another general election just finished back in the UK, and causing further political turmoil for our country, what better way to unwind than listening to some good music.. I believe this fine instrumental by “The Shadows” was released in 1963 and made it to number 6 in the charts, but the info I could find on this instrumental was a little bit sketchy, so if anyone out there knows for sure when this song was released and where it got to in the charts then let me know...
