VLADIMIR PUTIN AND OTHERS


Here is another lot of oddities led off by one real odd one.

Vladimir Putin (yes he; the real Russian leader) 'singing' Blueberry Hill. He also plays the piano intro. This was done at a charity fundraiser in St. Petersburg. Some think he is terrible - but he sings better than me.

Mike Preston - Just ask your heart. As any reader will know Mike is a favourite of mine.

Chad Mitchell Trio - Super Skier (live) A bit of comedy.

Patsy Cline - Stupid Cupid. Done for a radio broadcast.



And now the great Sonny West with Oh Boy and Rave On.

How many realise Buddy Holly did not write these great songs and did not record them until a year after Sonny (the main writer) recorded them in 1957? His career is worth looking up.

I'm BACH (Not Johan Sebastian)



I'm back. Been away on holiday - Vietnam & China. We had a great time but of course the music hasn't been able to be actioned but this will now be overcome with again some odds and oldies right here for you.
Grumbleweeds - Hear my song Violetta. A great song done by an odd group. They are a British comedy group and this is an interesting version of a song that is one of my favourites.

Dick James - You can't be true dear.
Brothers 4 - Zulu warrior. I have had this LP for over 50 years.
Gene Autry - Blueberry Hill. Until recently I didn't realise that this song started off in the C & W area.
Dick Todd - Till I waltz again with you.
Chordettes - Humming Bird. I mostly remember them from the Back to the Future film when they sang Mr Sandman.
