Aphrodite came from the SEA, off Cyprus apparently, in a big shell, so the link can be sea or shell.

Mr G, my memory is fading fast but I'll check out the link ;-)

Animal.

Admittedly, the video is more Jonny Morris than Francis Cabrel, but it'll do.

Cheers GH, Interesting looking at the Xmas No 1's over the years.

Great to see Dave Edmunds in the mix there, i'd no idea he was part of the club.

Seems that when the marketing men got involved, that it all started to go a bit wrong.

 Nitrate.

Fifty years on and still CRYING

Though then best version of House of the Rising Sun is still Otway.

 

[carlosj]

Can I take this to Canada where kd's from?

I've chosen kd's version over Roy's

 

[grumpyhack]

If it's Canada talk a look at The Last Waltz, one of the greatest concert and music videos of all time, which showcased a lot of Canada's finest including The Band and Joni Mitchell.

 

So the link word is WALTZ

[whisty]

Is that Waltz thingy part of a Suite. Anyway, mention of Dave Edmunds always makes  me think of this Guitarist, Dave Edwards. Plays in a few different band set ups, think these guys with him here are a bit of a staple tho. Great tight band, good Bass & Drummer men. Saw them accompanied by another guitarist Dennis Stratton who played with Iron Maiden for a bit. Him and Dave are friends and band members since teen age. Remus Down boulevard are their band, well worth catching if you get a chance

KARELIA

Before Emerson, Lake and Palmer there was The Nice.  This is based on the Karelia Suite by Sibelius. Could be said to be the foundation of Prog Rock.

Happy Christmas Word Associators.  This is still my favourite Christmas pic.  I hope Santa gets to you before the jumbo catches him.

And in the spirit of Bamber I bring you ..........

WALK

The only connection is Matt Monro, one of the great under-appreciated voices with phrasing to match Sinatra.  This might even be the same show, or perhaps it was just his brown period.

It was another one of those songs, rather like Roy Orbison's "It's Over" that seemed to co-incide with break ups in my yoof.

Needed an excuse to post this; tipped possibly for No.1 though strangely not getting much air play.........

The linky is OVER

They knew how to write break up songs back in the day; marvellous

RAINBOW 

Sadly her fame in the UK really only came after her death when her music was championed by Terry Wogan on Radio Two.

[brandycoke]

MOJO rising, courtesy of Jim.

Hope this Christmas is good for you all :-)

[grumpyhack]

The Mojos were an excellent sixties Liverpool band, who had a hit with Everything's ALRIGHT

 

It was covered by the Liverpool Five and eventually David Bowie.

I hope everything will be alright for you all this Christmas.

[carlosj]

Everything's gonna be alright this morning, so says Muddy, and I agree. So, the link word from alright is MUDDY

Have a great Christmas folks!!

DIRTY

First released in 1966 and the start of Garage.  A big influence on The Ramones and the Sex Pistols.  This is the band twenty years on when they seem to have gained a dancer.

This was the B side
