Hi UBT - Rod Stewart and Thin Lizzy - top two in my play book.

We must be related - did you Dad ever spend any time in Stoke?

Sorry to drift away from your sixties theme UBT, but as a musical aficionado,  do you remember a band from the 70's called Rogue, I think they had a few minor hits, and I remember I had an album on vinyl. Would love to hear their song "Fallen Angel" again. And speaking of the sixties what about the great Scot Walker?

I must admit when you said Rogue, it didn't click with me, so I looked 'em up with Fallen Angel on Youtube.  When the song played I did remember it, although I remember nothing else about the group or the song, but here it is, and is that the LP cover?

There is a mix on youtube of Rogue so suggest you take a look at it.

Further researchshows that Frankie Valli covered this song to greater success than the original composers from Rogue, which is probably why I recognised the song

Scot Walker, good singer but I think that it was probably not just the singing that you ladies liked??  I will not play/post that cheesey Joanna, but I will post/play the clever song Jackie so here goes:-

Nothing against their great hits of the 60s, but No Regrets was right in my musical sweetspot!!

Thank you so much for that, so many memories, Rogue and Scot Walker, Heaven !x
