    Shows my age (although I'm actually getting younger every day and but growing old disgracefully).

    One should only grow old disgracefully. If you don't then you're not a child of the sixties! :spinning:

        Shame about nostalgia these days. Nostalgia just isn't what it used to be.

        It always reminds me of the Drifters hit of 1960 - Save The Last Dance For Me.



        Ben E King was the vocalist for them in this song (under the name of Benjamin King) but, after having an argument with their manager (he was being ripped off) he went solo and started his career as Ben E King.

        Straight away he had two massive hits, Spanish Harlem and Stand By Me. The latter charting at No. 1 over here in 1961 and 1987 :dbgrtmb:
