Fab Four Friday...

I read somewhere that Cynthia Lennon believed this song to be about her.
Don't know if that's true but it seems an appropriate pick this week.

Never heard that before Keith.

You're right, it's not bad - pretty poignant too really!

Fab Four Friday

A sad day in Beatles history today as the band announced they were splitting up on 10th April 1970 - this one seems appropriate! :cry:

Bern, think your "Fab Four Friday" is a great idea but think it is a bit lost on this thread, Ive only just discovered it. Why not start it off as a new topic ?

As an aside to the Fab Four just found this from Ringo his new album "Postcards From Paradise" this is the title track and have to say i think its very good.

About time we woke this old favourite thread up!

I found this tune on Monday when our Grandson Ethan started school - lovely little simple song...

R A Bee - bit early for what's perceived as a Christmas tune isn't it?

Nice song though :wink:

Bill - this is what I'm refeerring to on Pops thread when I mention Peter's Petticoat.

In the spirit of your suggestion, here's an old favourite of mine that was a B side so not a hit in it's own right;

Nice one Bern.

Just thinking about songs that are identified with someone other than the original singer to the extent that we (well me :( ) forget that it was someone else's composition. For example the wonderful Make You Feel My Love
from Adele
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0put0_a--Ng

from Dylan

Just chatting to a mate on Facebook about Northern Soul and this belter came to mind.

If it doesn't get the feet tapping then all hope is lost!
