What music did your parents listen to?

[karenbrown18]

Going back many a year..... I can remember my Mum loving Shirley Bassey, Nat King Cole, Tom Jones and Englebert!!!

Dad loved Country and Western...... Jim Reeves, Slim Whitman.

The funny thing is how ever much you hated the songs at the time and regardless how many years have gone by... you never forget the words...cringe

My Mum used to play Bob Dylan, Dave Edmunds, Fleetwood Mac, Cream, Barry Manilow and Helen Reddy ALL the time!

I actually keep meaning to look for a Helen Reddy CD but always forget and buy trance/dance instead!

My parents played Gene Pitney, The Everly Brothers, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison to name a few. That's probably why I like these artists now, except for Gene Pitney of course.
