Coming from a town where TV arrived when I was in final years of my college (or was it early in CA training??!!), and that too I could watch only at a neighbour's place, and where we did not have any radio station which broadcasted English songs - it is difficult for me to get nostalgic with the numbers you have mentioned.

But yes, I still was able to hear the Carpenters and Boney M and they still are my favourites.

That was the time when Jagjit Chitra came out with their first album Milestone (Baat niklegi to door talak jayegi)

But to get what I missed in my teens and early twenties, I would love to join you guys if and when you get together to hear the old 70's and 80's.

And yes, as you said BL, a visit to Mama Mia will be great for my wife and I. I am told it is soon going away.

Hey Chandresh...

Maybe I'm old fashioned feeling as I do

Maybe I'm just living in the past

But when I meet the right one, I know I'll be true

My first love will be my last

When I fall in love, it will be forever

Or I'll never fall in love

In a restless world like this is

Love is ended before it's begun

And too many moonlight kisses

Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give me heart, it will be completely

Or I'll never give my heart

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too

Is when I fall in love with you

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too

Is when I fall in love with you

*----------------------------*
I have many many different versions of this song, sung or played by different artists. The one above is of cos by Carpenters !

When I fall in love it will be forever ....

Hey I heard that no. by Dean Martin or Al Martino (Spanish Eyes --t he sweetest eyes in whole Mexisco........... Please dont cry --coz this is adios and not Good bye ........)

And Frank Sinatra (roll on those lazy hazy crazy days of Summer those days of soda and somethign and beer ).....

Frank Sinatra / Dean Martin / Nat King Cole /Al Martino --------- guys these artistes are like Talad Mehmood and Hemant Kr .

Yeah O_N I missed out on Andrew Ridgley & George Michaels WHAM s nos . in ur list .I recall the school girls used 2 go gaga over GM !!

Madonna was and continues 2 b a personal fav . I think y r choice of songs meanders around 70 s and 80 s is prob due to the age that we gew up in ------- I mean I do hear to music these days also but its not with the same jest and spirit of a teenager .

That reminds me does any1 recall 'Teenager in Love'

And how wud we forget amongst the Greatests --- 'Theme for a Dream' /Outsider / Evergreen Tree ---- CLIFF RICHARD . Undoubtedly artistes are immortal they continue 2 live on in the hearts of ppl even after their death .

Hv a pleasent weekend .

Manasvi.

Chandresh,
i hear you, we got our first TV in early 80s i guess ... maybe i was a few yrs behind you . i agree that music of that time had a special magic to it .

listening to some indian tunes of 60,70 is such a great experience in itself....somehow 80s did not produce as good bollywood music .

even songs which i thought were silly in india , make me stop here and does magic to my ears....

just the other day i was walking down Gerrard and a store was playing ....

"aye dil todne wale...tujhe dil dhoond raha hai ... " (wonder which movie it was )
and i stoped stayed around the in store ....till the wonderful memories came back of the time when i first heard it ....enjoyed it completely ...and walked on ....(had to buy some chikki for the time i spent just listening to the song) .
when i was leaving the next number was
"Kaun aaya ki nigaahon mein chamak jaag uthi"....i had no time to wait for this one too but i surely walked away with a lot more energy.

Nothing beats indian oldies ....what do you say !! maybe in our next meeting we should play oldies and enjoy together.

Someone mentioned Cliff Richard

"When I was young my father said
Son I've somthing to say
And what he said I'll never forget
Until my dying day

He said son, you be a bachelor boy ..."

of the top of me head...

ABBA
-------

Fernando
Mamam Mia
Dancing Queen
Honey Honey
Lay all you alove for me
Voulez vous
baby give me one more dance
Knowing me Knowing you
Winner takes it all
SOS
Waterloo
when I kissed the teacher and everything else.

Really not a bad tune from abba.

Boney M
----------
Rasputin
BElfast
Daddy cool
Sunny
night flight to venus

As with Abba not a bad tune here.

Queen (although different from the above two bands) are another where it would be hard to find a bad song. Plus Farukh Balsara

has some Indian links was fantastic, both as a musician and showman.
