The Music Goes Round and Round - Danny Kaye and Louis Armstrong from the movie The Five Pennies. (The Life of Red Nichols)
Which I saw when I was 8.
And I fell in love for the first time with Tuesday Weld.

This song was the song that introduced me to music. It inspired me to listen to actually enjoy music; not just listen to what was on the radio.

Hopefully this is the album version, I didn't check.

I can't remember that far back. We always had music going in our house. My mom has pictures somewhere of me trying to pull the vinyls out of her hands and crying because I couldn't.

I was Very young when I first heard this on the radio, it was great compared to what I remember having to sing everyday at school which was " All things Bright + Beautiful " !!.
My mother always had the radio on + we`d dance when the rock + roll songs came on. It was great fun. :o)

Hi Reg, Tuesday night 9pm the free view channel " Yesterday " is about the way we lived after the war. Streets in The East End + the communities there. It looks interesting, thought you may enjoy it. :o)

I guess that your first impressive music came from the Fab Four Jan, if so, what song turned your mind to love them as you did?
