One can only speculate about how that voice might have developed if it had survived

A real guilty pleasure this one.
Zero street cred , cultural appropriation probably, but after a few beers in the Uni bar, this one always had everybody on their feet and doing something daft. Not that this is difficult in Uni bars....


( Plus I had a very flimsy connection to one of the band.....)

Did anyone watch the National Theatre streaming of One Man Two Governors ? There was a very talented rock band (dressed for the 1960s) starting the show off and playing between scenes.

Way better than the ELP effort!

Part of our programme during the summer of 62 - and if my recollection is correct we nailed that particular version to a T.

My own guilty pleasure was another number in that programme - three of us lads sang the words.

It is very much a pub singalong down here - often tagged on to Sloop John B - up to 7 parts a cappella at MVC post concert afterglows!

Actually, since we're on politics, I guess Wagner, Morrissey and perhaps Stravinsky could be considered 'guilty pleasures'.

I've never felt guilty about listening to Wagner - but I do feel acutely uncomforable with Siegfried in Act I of Siegfried: about as close as I get to Wagner-guilt. (Dunno about the other two, though. )

Also, appreciate the thread and the posts.... most of these tracks are new to me!

Still no guilt (well, not about music anyway)

I feel much the same about Lee Marvin, Cbee.

I like the way he handled ‘standards’ on ’Songs of the last century’.

...wish I'd never sold my gatefold LP of that....

Quo had to turn up sooner or later. Not that I really feel guilty about them, they made some great Rock n Roll records, but somehow some other people manage to make me feel guilty !!

Lots to choose from, but this is probably the one, if it could only be one.

Yes, thought they were very good, even the washboard man (shades of skiffle). Also enjoyed the trio from the three female leads.

I’d love to know if there are any other Barry White fans on here,absolutely love this,not even sure I really feel that guilty about it
