Then as a teenager from 1963 - 1969, it was every Beatles song as they came out.

And of course, uncle Bill. It was this TOTP episode when I first came across him. My dad moaned that it was utter crap, but then he liked the Spinners and Mantovani....
Again, still one of my favourite songs

I'd have been about 6 or 7. I always found something haunting and beautiful about this song, even tho the subject matter is tragic.

So do I !!
In the early 60's, on Merseyside, the Spinners had a huge following and were very popular. I must say that those yellow shirts and their TV programmes brought their credibility image down a bit. Still listen to them now from time to time. Ellan Vannin Tragedy one of my favourites

The only yellow jersey you wouldn’t want! Maybe I ought to have a delve into their back catalogue.
I think last Christmas I did play their 12 days of Christmas to Lisa and Georgia. They weren’t impressed!

Not a great favourite of mine but the bloke who ran the Friday night disco at The Brown Cow in Helsby would play it religiously so it does remind me!

So @Sharky rebuked me for dissing The Spinners. My brain went back to my childhood....
I went to St Saviours school in Ellesmere Port, a catholic school. Every now and then we’d get a visitation from Father Francis, his cassock, guitar and sandals. It was always excruciating. I can remember sitting in the assembly hall thinking that there had to be more to life and music than this...

Here's one I remember: The Searchers, Needles and Pins

It appeared first before the drugs culture got properly underway. Once 'shooting up' acquired an additional meaning the song title raised all sorts of controversy which doubtless enhanced sales although my suspicion is that the lyrics are entirely innocent.

Never heard or recall reading any of that. I did like the searchers, a very distinctive and imo enjoyable sound.
