It wasn't just girls who bought Go Set my brother used to read it all the time,I think most of us did back then to keep up with what was going on overseas!

Not necessarily my favourite songs, but the ones that were flogged to death on the radio when we first arrived in Nov. '64 were:

Walk In The Room - The Searchers
Come A Little Bit Closer - Jay & The Americans
Pretty Woman - Roy Orbison
We'll Sing In The Sunshine - Gale Garnett
I Just Don't Like To Be Alone - Bryan Davies

Whenever I hear one of these songs, I'm instantly transported back to Scheyville Migrant Centre.

(Thanks Zoltan for reviving this topic and welcome to the forum)

Thanks Hollander, it's a topic I never get tired of, the sixties thing. If you went through adolescence in that decade it stuck for life. I mean, the Beatlemania phenomena! The Stones! There has never been a better era. One of my all time favorites too was Joe and Eddie doing 'There's a Meetin' Here Tonight!' Apart from that, there were some great experimental people like Rob EG, The Village Stompers 'Washington Square', Gene Pitney's string of hits and on it goes........

I don't believe it, someone else actually remembers THERE'S A MEETIN' HERE TONIGHT, I used to sing that to death in the hostel. I got Joe and Eddie's greatest hits recently, they loved their hallelujahs. Cool
