GOOD FRIDAY

A holiday here and the music is here. All todays songs have a theme with a spirit in name or words

Anne Murray - Just a closer walk with thee.

Al Hibbler - Unchained Melody from the film Unchained. I remember going to see the film probably around 1956-57 at I would think the Majestic Theatre in Auckland. At those teenage years we always went to 'The Maj' on a saturday night as it was a double header - two films for the price of one!! Can't remember a thing about the film - just the song. The song was later revived by the Righteous Brothers and revived again after being used to good effect in the film 'Ghost'.Hedgehoppers Anonymous - Its good news week. The band members were all in the RAF and used the slang for low flying planes/helicopters/Harrier Jets (although the song probably came out before the Harrier even flew) as the name of their band. One hit wonders.

Mario Lanza - Santa Lucia - Italy at its best in this trying time for them with the earthquakes.
