TQR 14,352 Posted August 31 A mostly great top-7! Tell you what, the final's going to be, as old people say, a doozy. Right, here's the last qualifying round, with another 7 going through. Quite honestly, it's a shame it's not more; what a superb selection! 1958-59 Sat 31 Aug 21 Bobby Darin — Dream Lover +1 21 Connie Francis — Who’s Sorry Now +1 21 The Everly Brothers — All I Have To Do Is Dream / Claudette +1 21 Bobby Darin — Mack The Knife +1 20 Jerry Lee Lewis — Great Balls Of Fire 20 Elvis Presley — Jailhouse Rock 20 Michael Holliday — The Story Of My Life 20 Perry Como — Magic Moments 20 Marvin Rainwater — Whole Lotta Woman 20 Vic Damone — On The Street Where You Live 20 Kalin Twins — When 20 Connie Francis — Stupid Cupid / Carolina Moon 20 Tommy Edwards — It’s All In The Game 20 Lord Rockingham’s XI — Hoots Mon 20 Conway Twitty — It’s Only Make Believe 20 Jane Morgan — The Day The Rains Came 20 Elvis Presley — One Night / I Got Stung 20 Shirley Bassey — As I Love You 20 The Platters — Smoke Gets In Your Eyes 20 Russ Conway — Side Saddle 20 Buddy Holly — It Doesn’t Matter Anymore 20 Elvis Presley — A Fool Such As I / I Need Your Love Tonight 20 Russ Conway — Roulette 20 Craig Douglas — Only Sixteen 20 Jerry Keller — Here Comes Summer 20 Cliff Richard & The Shadows — Travellin’ Light 20 Adam Faith — What Do You Want? 20 Emile Ford — What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For? 14 Cliff Richard — Living Doll -6 Struggled to pick just four to give a point to. Had to give one to the Everly Brothers because even Claudette is good. Both of Bobby Darin's songs are right near the top of the whole game for me; Dream Lover is gorgeous and his Mack The Knife is the best version imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theoldlady 2,280 Posted August 31 How did the song: Great Balls of Fire—get past the sensors of the late 1950s in the USA (did they have sensors in Britain as well at that time)? This questions goes for the song: Good Golly Miss Molly I just got to ball — as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
