Good morning all 😘😘

That number 6, I feel like I should know it, one of those ‘it’s on top of my head’ moments ….

You couldn't really have a heart and hurt me like you hurt me and be so untrue

This is Anyone who had a heart.. can't think who sings it..

NeedToKnow101 · 25/07/2021 11:23

Morning

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/07/2021 13:15

@NeedToKnow101 Anyone who had a heart - the version I am think of - female, solo, very clear voice, think Petula Clarke singing Down town type voice.

But not quite the diction of Petula.

I know it's out of fashion
And a trifle uncool

About a song I suggested was missing from your theme? I don't think so! It was lyrics waiting to be guessed. And it was me that mentioned it on the thread

Loads of people sang anyone who had a heart. Dione Warwick

Oh yeah. It was written by Burt Bacharach and Dionne Warwick first sang it. It's a great song.

Yeah it was but Cilla Black's version topped the charts on this side of the pond.

@midgemagneto

I knew you would know

I always check Brian ferry songs after hearing a 1930 ? Version of smoke gets in your eyes on the radio once.

Lots of his solo stuff is copies . Including his LP These Foolish Things - which isn't bad really. But his version of Eight Miles High by the Byrds is pretty awful.
NeedToKnow101 · 25/07/2021 18:53

Who is the man
That would risk his neck for his brother man?
70s

Honeyroar · 25/07/2021 19:36

@NeedToKnow101 that’s Shaft, but as usual I don’t know who sang it 🤷🏽!

All night long, you've been looking at me
Well, you know you're the dance hall cutie that you longed to be
Oh well now, you've been laying it down
You've got your hip swinging out of bounds
And I like the way you do what you're doin' to me
70s

Isaac Hayes???

Abhannmor I like a lot of roxy music stuff, but not sure i know the album you're talking about

Nope! It's a bit of a stomper- the kind of song gets people up dancing!
dexterslockedintheshedagain · 25/07/2021 20:22

These Foolish Things is (the slimy 🤮) Bryan Ferry on his own rather than with Roxy Music

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 25/07/2021 20:28

I seem to have read something about his son being an absolute twat too dexter. But that might be wrong
