Yes, Twinkle sang "Please wait at the gates of heaven for me, Te-e-rryyyy". I always regretted being just too young in the 60s. When I was a teenager it was either heavy metal or really drippy ballads. I loved "Every time that you walk into the room" and "Today I met the boy I'm going to marry". I also remember in the playground at primary school all the girls would say which pop singer they'd most like to be. Cher came top, then Dusty Springfield and Lulu and Sandie Shaw. Cilla was always last! Helen |

Emile Ford and The Checkmates, Them There Eyes is one of my favourites. Have a sister who's 14 years older than me so was dragged up on 50's and 60's music by her. I was born in 1957! Viv. |

Viv Wasn't it 'What do you wanna make those eyes at me for' that Emile Ford sang? I remember my Mum and Dad having a disagreement about whether the old version (from the Forties?) was better than Emile Ford's version! My favourite group was the Beatles, George Harrison was my fave! I went to see them at Hammersmith Odeon with my best mate. There was a girl sitting in front of us holding up a Beatles umbrella and we couldn't see the stage. My mate wrenched it out of her hand and sat on it! We nearly got chucked out! Also on the bill were the Yardbirds. I also liked the Hollies especially Alan Clarke, the Searchers and the Swinging Blue Jeans. Sue - definitely a child of the 60s! |

One of my favourites were the Walker Brothers, I loved Scott Walker. ~On my 17h birthday I went to Streatham Ice Rink to see the Small Faces but they never appeared and somebody pinched my purse. Happy days all the same. |

Without doubt the Beatles. Also, I think the Spencer Davis Group were the most underated 60's group. |
