Hey, That’s no Way to Say Goodbye ~ Leonard Cohen and Julie Felix

How gorgeous is this!! 😌

.

I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
Yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you
But now it’s come to distances and both of us must try
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that’s no way to say goodbye

I’m not looking for another as I wander in my time
Walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
You know my love goes with you as your love stays with me
It’s just a way of changing, like the shoreline and the sea
But let’s not talk of love or chains and things we can’t untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that’s no way to say goodbye

I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
Yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you
But let’s not talk of love or chains and things we can’t untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that’s no way to say goodbye

Harriet At Play – 1970’s Documentary of Butlins Holiday Camp (Minehead)

I was thrilled to find this documentary about the UK Butlins Holiday Camp in Minehead, as both my brother and I have wonderful childhood memories of holidays at this Butlins camp from the early 70s.🤩 Filmed for HTV and broadcast in 1976.

This story… made me cry!😭 I’ve never heard of these brave girls. Britain’s first all-female rock ’n’ roll band… The Liverbirds.😎

New York In The Mid 1930’s In Color

I thought this was a collection of different film footage, but it seems it’s a film. Quite lengthy I know, but amazing sights of 1930’s New York.

Beauties Of The Past Brought To Life V2 (AI Animated)

It’s fascinating to see these portraits appear to come to life. It’s not perfect, but just think what they will be able to do in the near future. We may well be able to see our ancestors far more realistically alive. I can’t wait to see how this technology evolves.

I discovered this remix edit of White Rabbit on SoundCloud… I love the original, but this is quite a stunning sound!

I WILL FOLLOW HIM ~ PEGGY MARCH

Born to an Italian American family, Peggy was discovered at age 13 singing at her cousin’s wedding and was introduced to record producersHugo & Luigi.  They gave her the nickname ‘Little Peggy March’ because she was only 4 ft 10 inches tall, she was only 13, the record she did with them was “Little Me,” and her birthday was in March.

On April 24, 1963, her single “I Will Follow Him” soared to number one on the U.S. charts.   She recorded the song in early January 1963 and it was released on January 22, when she was only 14.   March became the youngest female artist with a number one hit, at 15, in late April 1963, a record that still stands for the Billboard Hot 100. The recording also reached number one in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Japan, and Scandinavia, although it failed to chart in the UK.  It was a translation of the French song “Chariot” recorded a year earlier by Petula Clark.  March also became the first white female solo artist to hit No.1 on the Billboard R&B chart.

If you think the song sounds familiar… perhaps you remember the song from the 1992 movie Sister Act?!! 😁
