http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wak4aXnWUJU

Welcome back, euroGeorge. I love the Fureys Scarlet Ribbons. Thanks for your comments on what we play here.

UhOh! I wondered if hbg's second song was naughty.

Here's some info on the man that wrote Scarlet Ribbons.

Jack Segal (October 19, 1918 in Minnesota – February 10, 2005 in Tarzana, Los Angeles, California) was a composer of popular American songs. Among songs he authored or for which he shared credit are Scarlet Ribbons, When Sunny Gets Blue, That's the Kind of Girl I Dream Of (both with Marvin Fisher), A Boy from Texas, A Girl from Tennessee (with John Benson Brooks & Joseph Allan McCarthy) and When Joanna Loved Me (with Robert Wells).

Now, in memory of my friend Bill.

I don't know Kenny Rankin, but he does a great job with that song. What a range he possesses.

Thanks for the info on Jack Segal Miss Letty.
"When Sunny Gets Blue" was a nice track.
Lets keep it sunny eh.

euroGeorge, I love Stevie Wonder's Sunshine of my life.

Thanks, edgar, for letting us hear from you.

and, EuroGeorge, Essex's A Walking Miracle was a good one as well.

She, by Charles Aznavour was fantastic. What a tribute to Marie Antoinette.

Going to say goodnight a bit early as my company left me a bit tired.

It's Sunday, so here is my goodnight song.

Good morning, peeples. I will be back this afternoon. See ya then.

Hurry back, edgar.

hbg said goodnight with Brahms and I'll say good morning with Haydn.

Papa Haydn's dead and gone,
But his music lingers on.

When his heart was full of bliss,
He played jolly tunes like this.

Giorgio Moroder & Chris Bennett - Theme From Midnight Express.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBrDgLPSLQY

You hurry back as well, euroGeorge and thanks again for your comments. You sent me searching as I have never seen the movie. It seems that a young man was caught with illegal drugs and put in prison by the Turkish authorities where he suffered from abuse. It does have a happy ending, however.

Giorgio and Chris did a great job with the theme. Thanks for the introduction.

Here is the instrumental version.

Another new face on the horizon, and today is her birthday. First, some info.

Patricia Lynn Yearwood, professionally known as Trisha Yearwood (born September 19, 1964), is an American country music artist. She is best known for her ballads about vulnerable young women from a female perspective that have been described by some music critics as "strong" and "confident

Good afternoon. I have household tasks this afternoon. Will not be on the radio that much, until this evening.

I'm extremely busy now; so, I have only enough time to post a single Youtube music video today. Perhaps I'll have more time tomorrow. Best wishes!

The Rolling Stones -- "Lady Jane" (1966)

Howdy Folks, well Ed a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do.
Enjoyed the instrumental version from Midnight Express Miss Letty,
a great movie. Really liked Trisha Yearwood, she's excellent.
Now from " Believe me Baby I Lied" to "Go to sleep my baby".

The Beatles - And I Love Her.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96YQdiMV-Jc

Ha Wm, we must be on the same wavelength The Stones and The
Beatles AND similar songs too, Snap.

You're right, Irish. I loved that Lady Jane by the Rolling Stones.Thanks, wm, for playing that one. Odd, because there used to be a Lady Jane here some time ago and she played a bit on WA2K radio. Thanks for the memory.

Thanks once again for your comments. Don't know Tyisha's Go to Sleep My Baby. Thanks for the introduction. Great one by the fab four and the bevy of beautiful women of the past was particularly fascinating.

Another birthday boy, yawl, but first some info on the guy.

William Thomas Medley (born September 19, 1940 in Los Angeles, California) is an American singer and songwriter, best known as one half of The Righteous Brothers.

Medley met his singing partner Bobby Hatfield while attending California State University, Long Beach. The pair began singing as a duo in 1962. Their first single was "Little Latin Lupe Lu"; their first hit was "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'", produced by Phil Spector in 1964. Follow-up hits included "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration" and "Unchained Melody".

Hmmm, perhaps the lady of that song needed to listen to those bugs more often.

Loved "You´ve Lost That Lovin´Feelin" by Bill Medley,
a classic Miss Letty, although I wouldn't be caught dead in
that orange shirt he was wearing.

Elizabethan Serenade.

You sent me searching again euroGeorge. Fantastic slide show of Dublin in the old days. Thanks for your comments, orange shirt et al.

Here's some info concerning Ronald Binge and his orchestra.

He was born in a working-class neighbourhood in Derby in the English Midlands. In his childhood he was a chorister at Saint Andrews Church (CofE), London Road, Derby - 'the railwaymen's church was demolished in 1970. In his early life he was a cinema organist and later started working in summer orchestras in British seaside resorts (including Blackpool and Great Yarmouth), for which he learned to play the piano accordion. His skill as a cinema organist was put to good use, and he played the latter instrument in Mantovani's first band, the Tipica Orchestra. During the Second World War, Binge served in the Royal Air Force, during which time he was much in demand organising camp entertainment.

After the end of the war, Mantovani offered him the job of arranging and composing for his new orchestra. In 1951, his arrangement of Charmaine gave him and Mantovani worldwide success and recognition. However, he later tired of writing arrangements and turned to composing original works and film scores. He died in Ringwood, Hampshire of liver cancer in 1979, aged 69.

Love Mantovani and it made me think of "the dove"
