I've mentioned my interest in vintage pop, jazz and Motown, but there are other eras, like the seventies that appeal to me. Scanning my LPs, there's Chicago, Earth Wind and Fire, Bread, Robert Palmer, Fleetwood Mac, Carole King and several more. But I was particularly fond of Hall & Oates. Daryl Hall has written some great songs.
There's a lot of videos on YouTube of "Live From Daryl's House," where he and invited guests sing his and their songs, as well as they did twenty or thirty years ago.

Here he is singing a long-time favourite with the young singer Rumer.

Lots of other well known guests.


Lots more favourites on there.

Never really fond of the Beatles, but I like this this Scandi girl's version

So I taught myself to busk it (and the guitar solo is so easy play)

Wow ,is that you playing !!! Very impressive!

Loved most of the above too, especially Carole King, have a few of her LPs.

There's a lot of "girl groups" isn't there?

One might think that The Andrews Sisters started the trend in close harmony popular singing in the forties.

But with so many things in music, it had all been done before, in this case, the thirties, with the Boswell Sisters, I've an album of theirs on a cassette.

I've Carole King's "Pearls" on LP where she sings the songs she wrote with the late Gerry Goffin for other people some twenty-odd years before.

I can play Sara Smile too. I like playing Daryl Hall songs. Some nice chords in that one.

A good source of original songs can be found on YouTube clips of "Cold Case Endings."

"Cold Case," was a US TV series which ran for well over a hundred episodes. In each episode a case was re-investigated from any decade, the programme included original scenes. . The final scene was always accompanied by a recording popular when the crime was committed.

These endings have become a cult and many of them have been uploaded to YouTube by different people.
If you've never seen these before, the final scene shows the suspects and witnesses "as they were and as they are now."

This one could bring a tear to your eye. It's my favourite episode, though very sad, it has been described as LBGT-friendly

More from the twins

They can do Beach Boys too. Really good voices, they can hold long tones and are right on the note.

I remember my first record purchase was Bobby Vee's Like a rubber ball.

It amused me in my youth that he had his own show on TV for a while. Anyone unaware, might have thought he was a really big man, because you never saw any guest standing next to him. But in reality he was quite short.
