Only just seen this thread because it's been added to today.  Honestly I have tried to read as much as I could, but not all 1 thousand 3 hundred odd pages.  So excuse me if these singers/songs have already been mentioned:  Leonard Cohen's Suzanne and The Sisters of Mercy,  Home thoughts from Abroad by Clifford T. Ward  and that devasting song by Bob Dylan with the verse:

I wish that for just one day

You could stand here in my shoes

And for that day

I could be you

Oh I wish that for just one day

You could stand here in my shoes

Then you'd know

What a drag it is to see you  (may not be 100 per cent correct)

Imagine having that said about you! Or to you!

And I love the Beatles Good Day Sunshine for its feelgood factor.

Positively 4th Street, that's right. Thank you Krusty. What a song!

I'll have to get the OH to show me how to put links on to my posts.

Frenchie, you like Elvis. Have you ever heard a song of his called I think, Did You Ever Get One Of Those Days? My friend's much elder sister lived in the US in the 60s and she used to send over LPs of Elvis that you couldn't get here. Mind you it wasn't one of his famous songs, but I never heard that or any of the other songs from the LP ever again.

Time I got friendly with Google!

I have a shameful story to tell you, Frenchie.  In the very early 60s before the Beatles got HUGE,  I was on holiday with my family in Blackpool.  Cliff Richard and The Shadows were doing a season and the Beatles were booked for a one-nighter. I bullied my family into choosing Cliff Richard over the Beatles.

I have a lot of respect for my brother - he forgave me!
