Terry Hall Of The Specials Died Recently Aged 63

Hello lovelies I was saddened and surprised to hear this news of Terry’s passing@@ on the radio at 3 am yesterday 3morning rubbing cannabis oil on my legs, trying to stretch them out and warm them up. I’ve been having problems with my circulation lately and at night especially.

Anyhoo The Specials and this song was the first song I heard and liked. From my childlike perspective it was the first group that had both black and white people playing music, friends together. I connected to the songs and their commoradary its hard to choose a favourite. They had songs such as Message To You Rudy, Monkey Man, Do Nothing, Rat Race, Enjoy Yourself, Your Wondering Now, and Too Much Too Young. I even wore some black and white when the ska two tone style of clothing was out.. I was only a kid and still liked their music when Terry with two of his band mates from The Specials formed the group Fun Boy Three with songs such as Ghost Town, The Lunatics Are Taking Over The Asylum, Our Lips Are Sealed, It Ain’t What You Do, aswell as Really Saying Something with Bananarama a popular UK girl band in the 1980s..

Lastly he also had a song Thinking Of You under the name of Colourfield. He wrote songs aswell as covering other songs previously played by other artists.. ❤️

Happy Birthday Alice! Watch “Alice Cooper – Poison” on YouTube

Happy 74th Birthday to Alice Cooper otherwise known as Vincent Damon Furnier. Born as Vincent (his uncles namesake) on February 4th 1948. Known for songs such as Welcome To My Nightmare (I’m) Eighteen Elected and Poison released July 17th 1989 when I was heavily pregnant with my first child.. 🥰

Again I was quite young when his band was founded but I remember the song Schools Out. I also remember vaguely his theatre make up with his black eyes. I also had a certain poster of Alice on the wall.

I can’t remember what he was wearing or the colours. I remember I used to kiss all the posters goodnight.. As you can imagine as I was that young the centre of the poster where his face should’ve been was torn and soggy! But in the summer of 1972 when Schools Out was released in the UK I was only three! ❤️

Watch “Meat Loaf – Dead Ringer for Love (Video)” on YouTube

A classic with two of my favourite singer’s…enjoy ♥️🙏👼#ripmeatloaf

Björk – it’s oh so quiet

Hello lovelies this song covered by Björk brings back some precious memories of my youngest daughter. My mum could and would spend my childhood singing. She would tell us every time a Connie Francis song come on the radio that it was her. As Connie’s her chosen name it so happened my mum sounded just like her. As young children, it didn’t take much convincing as I knew my mum’s name was Connie and that was it…

Anyhoo It’s So Quiet was released in November 1995 two months after my youngest daughter 3rd birthday. This was her first attempt at singing. Being the youngest of 3 girls she was laid back and followed what her sisters were doing.

But occasionally she would surprise you with a little dance or song or an amazing story she was very creative. It started as a typical toddler does with the sshh and her tiny finger squashing her little plump lips.. Her eyes huge and round like saucers her fine blonde hair hung in a curtain of baby ringlets below her ears.

She went on to sing at a local youth club with one of my eldest friends who could also sing. Anyway my youngest went on to sing at the local festival.

Her song of choice gives you an idea of how great her singing voice is the song was Respect by the great Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin. In the mean time enjoy ❤️👑😎🍀
