The records that changed your birth


completely and unashamedly stealing the idea from my dear friend edilma, i started wondering what were the records that were released the year i was born. here are the most important ones (for me) that were blazing out of speakers in different places in the world during 1979:

"bela lugosi's dead" (single) - bauhaus
"aux armes et cætera" - serge gainsbourg
"fear of music" - talking heads
"horas de amor" - camilo sesto
"lodger" - david bowie
"manifesto" - roxy music
"recent songs" - leonard cohen
"setting sons" - the jam
"specials" - specials
"three imaginary boys" - the cure
"unknown pleasure" - joy division
"voulez-vous" - abba
"the wall" - pink floyd

have a merry weekend. kisses, hugs and handshakes to everyone.

Here I go dating myself again!

Some 1954 top singles on the Billboard chart:

Oh My Papa, Eddie Fisher
Secret Love, Doris Day
My Love to Me, Jo Stafford
Sh-Boom, Crew-Cuts
Hey There, Rosemary Clooney

Once i had a secret love
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impaitient to be free

let it be, wow... beautiful.

and yes... BAUHAUS is also one of my favorites. recently i've been listening to their first album, and i'm just amazed by how unique they are. there's no other group like them.

kisses, uta ;)

minnie, ... 1954 was an important year for MUSIC in general... Elvis Presley released his FIRST SINGLE "that's all right"... everything changed from then on ;)

"Rosanna" - Toto

Edilma I was referring to your name Edilma on my comments about a weird name. Hope you are enjoying the weekend, it's rainning so much here but I'm loving the fresh smell.
