Dear All

Hello

Hope you are okay.

Chris Farlowe (born John Henry Deighton, 13 October 1940, Islington, North London, England) is an English rock, blues and soul singer.

In 1966, his hit single "Out of Time" went to No 1 in the Singles Chart.

This classic song discovers a new generation of fans each time its played.

It proves good music and lyrics stand out.

Dear Maggie Winchester

Hello

Hope you are keeping well.

'Ere, dont be daft, You are not old!

The youngsters love a good mix of music from the 1930's onwards. Its the tune and the lyrics that determine if the song will inspire new generations.

One of all my all time favourite songs.

When I hear it, I want to get up and dance!

Take gentle care
Very best wishes

Maggie, you feel old! I was 19 in 1966 and used to listen to Chris Farlowe and other bands of the time at our local music venues.

I remember Out of Time very well.

I remember in 1964 I was working in Conduit Street in Mayfair, I ran to get a sandwich and bumped into a man who picked me up from the pavement, those big long legs belonged to none other then Chris Farlowe!

I love Chris Farloe. Also Handbags and Gladrags.
Am also big fan of Van Morrison, and a few years ago, Chris was accompanying him, at Bournemouth.. They make a great team!.
For some reason, it was not known that he was appearing on Vans show, and someone in the audience stood up and said 'who the .... are you?' He just ignored it, and carried on. How ignorant can you get.?
Happy birthday Chris, and many more.

OUT OF TIME - 28/07/1966

1 week at #1 - 13 weeks on chart

You don't know what's going on,
You've been away for far too long
You can't come back and think you are still mine

You're out of touch my baby
My poor old fashioned baby
I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes you are left out, yes, you are
I said you're left out of there without a doubt
'cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

You thought you was a clever girl
Giving up your social whirl
But you can't come back and be the first in line, oh yeah
You're obsolete, my baby
My poor old fashioned baby
I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes, you are left out, yes, you are
I said you're left out of there without a doubt
'cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes you are left out, yes, you are
I said you're left out of there without a doubt
'cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes you are left out, yes, you are
I said you're left out, out of there without a doubt
'cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
(Is everybody ready)
Baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You thought you was a clever girl
(Baby, baby, baby, you're out of time)
You're livin' in that social whirl
(Baby, baby, baby, you're out of time)
Yes you are right now

Enjoy!!

Take gentle care
Very best wishes
