What were your favorite songs as a kid?
- Thread starter Stampede
- Start date
I was born in 1951, so my music goes back much farther than most of you. I grew up in a house where music was played and enjoyed. So, I guess the earliest memory of music in my youth was the songs sung at church, Just as I am, is one I remember from really early in my life.
I also remember the William Tell Overture, but I just called it the "Lone Ranger" song. The Ballad of New Orleans was a favorite playing in the house as was my dad's favorite song, Sixteen Tons, by Tennessee Ernie Ford. Later on Ray Price, Marty Robbins, Patsy Cline, Elvis Presley, Sam and Dave, Pat Boone, The Temptations, Johnny Rivers.....etc, etc..that was the music being played at my house when I was a kid. BTW, the first album I purchased was Whipped Cream and Other Delights by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass.
