Ray Coniff was, well, something. Garry’s comment that they took all the coolness out of Mrs. Robinson sums it up.

They say that size doesn't matter, and yet here we are looking at some twelve inches. Ahem.

My main comment this week is that Benny Hill was on the telly (BBC, not ITV) in *1958*. I think his show actually started in '55. I was reading about it just the other day in Kynaston. This sketch, Beat Your Wife, is quite funny

There was simply no escape from B Hill for so long.

Loved your Moody Blues chat. You've inspired me to have a listen of On the Threshold of a Dream. But not until I've listened to this other 1969 classic first

Good episode, enjoyed the Moody Blues discussion and the noted 1966 gap - interestingly in the most recent record store day I picked this up which pulls together what they did that year, and it's exactly what you might expect between RnB and more proggy folk stuff...

Nice!

A few years later Ray Conniff and his gang gave us their easy listening take of Live and Let Die.

It perhaps speaks to the excellent of this song that even this version sounds cool! (G)

As a non-Dylanphile, Lay Lady Lay always proved to me that Dylan *could* sing, but just couldn’t be bothered for the rest of his career.
