Friday's 60s Girl Groups

 Talking about female soul singer of the 60's there were mostly named singers from across the Atlantic ocean. Sadly it was overlooked that Great Britain had also wonderful soulful voices. If it was Welsh singer Mary Hopkin, Essex born Sandie Shaw or Scottish singer and actress Lulu - all of them had a great voice and veritable hits almost 60 years ago and worth to be remembered.

Today I start my annual journey to Sri Lanka again. So there will be only a few posts in the next weeks. Have a wonderful time and stay safe.

Mary Hopkin - Those Were The Days

Sandie Shaw - (There's) Always Something There To Remind Me

Lulu and the Luvvers - Shout

Those Were The Days

For RSD The Wedding Present released a compilation of their sessions for John Peel. Guitar player Peter Solowka hat Urkrainian roots and they decided to play in these session to play his standards in a way new wave should be played. On of those they named Davny Chesy and for me it a cover by Mary Hopkin's chart success These Were The Days. a song from the 60's. This song is a great by all covers that are made during the last decades. Enjoy it now.
