In Response to What Song brings back memories : "We've only just begun." I have no idea who recorded it, but this was the song at my first wedding; my husband died 10 months later.

If I recall correctly, that would be the Carpenters. Great song! Also a favorite!!
Do you Remember the group The Diamonds? The Diamonds.. Performances 47 years apart FYI, the lead singer of the Diamonds is also the father of TOM HANKS. If you were alive in 1957, and old enough to enjoy Rock and Roll, you will probably remember the group, "The Diamonds" who had just launched their super hit "Little Darlin' ". For you that are too young to remember - it was a time when the performers were happy, enjoying themselves, respecting their fans, dressed appropriately and their lyrics could be understood. They did not feel obligated to scream, eat the microphone, mumble inaudible lyrics or trash the set. In 1957, The Diamonds had a hit with "Little Darlin". 47 years later, they were requested to perform at Atlantic City ... This link leads to both performances. Watch the first one then scroll down for the new one 47 years later. http://www.flixxy.com/the-diamonds-little-darlin-1957-2004..htm

The lead singer of The Diamonds is not Tom Hanks father. I thought this was true too but it isn't. Sorry.

"Dizzy" by Tommy Roe
That song was playing when I got my first "forreal" kiss that actually curled my toes. LOL! I don't hear that song as much as you hear a lot of other oldies, but when I do you can bet I fondly remember that kiss and that boy !

I love that old trivia info.
Did you know that Quest Love's (band The Roots) dad is Lee Andrews of the Philadelphia group Lee Andrews and the Hearts?
Like so many of us, our music is the marker of memories! I was born in 1950, and from there, there is so much music that I've heard, and so many "favorites" that it would be hard to list them all or in part. And so many are personal and meanless to others. But like everyone else there are the few that shine in my memories and envoke some strong emotions of the days of my life. But like most, there's always one or two that stick or stand out. The one I think of most is a song that I heard in a little 3.2 bar where me and my best friends gathered to discuss the day and events in our sleepy little town. The singers name was Mary Hopkins, who was given a chance to try for fame by Paul McCartney, then of The Beatles, and the song was "Those Were The Days". And it fits so well as the captain of favorites, because of the time and that sleepy litle bar and the friends then. "Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end. We'd sing and dance forever and a day. We'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never lose. Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days!" Ah, where are the dreams and innocence of those days!

Mary McGovern sang that in the film Poseidon Adventure and it was beautiful.

A while back I started a project. I have created a list of songs that I like and have affected me in some way. I now have 10 gigs of music and it is growing. I have so many that are important to me, they may cause me to remember a moment, a person, or a time in space. One I really like, among thousands, is Ripple by the Grateful Dead. The band that has the most memories for me is The Beatles. I am not sure they did a bad song. My problem is that my life has had such a great soundtrack. I was born in 54 and so much good music has and is still being done. An old song that means more today is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KODZtjOIPg

I don't want to burst your bubble, but I'm transferring my music from my media player into iTunes and I have 10 gigs and I'm only in the "F's"!
