Have I Told You Lately - Jim Reeves

Advantages: Not any really bad tracks on the whole album
Disadvantages: None really

...(sorry, Bay City Rollers) and “Seasons In The Sun” by Terry Jacks, and the wonderful “Without You” by Nilsson. From the 60s we have Freda Payne’s “Band of Gold” (which was always a big favourite of mine) Marmalade’s “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, The Monkees with “I’m A Believer”, Sandie Shaw with “Long Live Love” and the late Jim Reeves with “Distant Drums” (nice to see a song from "Gentleman Jim") Also “You’ll Never Walk Alone” from Gerry and The Pacemakers and last but certainly not least The King himself with “It’s Now or Never”.

Based on the novel 'Bid Time Return' by Richard matheson, starring the late, great Chris Reeve (Superman) and English beauty Jane Seymour, the tale describes the plight of a young playwrite who falls hopelessly in love with a woman after looking at her portrait. He later finds out that she lived several generations ago, and is already dead - If he ever wants to meet her, he must travel back in time, which he succeeds in doing...anyway, I'm not here to review the film (I may at a later date)...on with the music...
