barbara lewis - hello stranger



so i thought i'd have a go at this posting songs lark... and incredibly i think i've worked out how you do it...

songs still manage to come out of nowhere and blow me away. like this one. i've got a nice shiny cd version too but it doesn't sound anything like as gorgeous as this totally knackered 45.

when i tried to find out stuff about barbara lewis it turns out the arctic monkeys have covered a song on some b side, which makes me like them even though i've never heard it, and gives me much more hope in the kids today than i had yesterday .

somehow, despite making records of such incredible fabuluosness, she ended up with 'a successful career as an armed security officer'.

clicking on the title at the top should take you there.

i promise you'll spend the rest of the day going 'shooo bop shooo bop, my baby...'

I've just stumbled across your blog and love what I've read and listened to so far.

This track is a new one to me and a real winner.

Cheers,
Roger

I just posted this recently too - this one is capable of taking me back , viscerally, to a time I never actually lived in. Love it.
