    'Memories'; is this 70s? And what is the song that we play for the Teachers' Day?

  5. Joo, I cannot remember which song is in which era , I love music but I just cannot put a 'time' to them, very vaguely. I remembered the days when Woon Wee Lam and I used to cycle to India Street book store to buy the weekly Fanfare magazine without fail.
    I think 'Memories' is not during our time in KGTSS in 1970-72.

    Hi, Jim & Other Music Lovers

    Coiming back to your comments on songs of our time 70-72......I would also like to add fantastic songs of my favourite during my younger days. This greatest hit songs by the BEE GEES ....especially "To Love Somebody", "Holiday", "Massachusetts", "Words", "I've Gotta Get A Message To You", "I Started A Joke", "First Of May", "Saved By The Bell", "Don't Forget To Remember", "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart', "Run To Me", "World", "Melody Fair", "Reflections Of My Life" & "My World" is more than enough to melt our heart when you listen to them. The music, lyrics is soothing to our ears, mind & heart. This nolstalgic songs will surely bring you back fond memories of our younger days if you are a music lover. Apart from BEE GEES, songs from BEATLES, HOLLIES and from my previous comment on November 26, 2009 are some of my other favourite artists/bands. Whenever I log onto the net, I surely go to the music site. You'll feel relax & happy when you hear those songs.....to all of you, give it a try.

    Hi, Mel

    "Flashdance" is end of 70's if I'm not wrong, but I think when you listen to songs of 70-72, the music is much more touching and instrumental in nature... you try to go to www.nutsie.com,.........it will melt your heart when you listen to songs of BREAD/BEE GEES/BEATLES/CARPENTERS/HOLLIES and many more other artists/bands of that era.....these songs will make you lifely and energetic.
