There are a few songs I can rememberm one being the theme to Z - Cars. This tune entered the charts by Johny Keating in 1962 in the top ten. The tune they used was an English folk song caled 'Johnny Tod'. The only recording I remember was by The Spinners, a Liverpool group who made lots of great songs. Why did Johnny Keating claim he had written the song for the program Z - Cars when he should know that the tune existed long before the program started? In 1950 one song called 'There's No Tomorrow' was sung by 7 folks with Tony Martin having the big hit with it (Christmas 1949 to March 1950). Lots of folk from the 50s have recorded this song knowing that it was based on a tune from Italy. When Elvis made the charts with 4 remembered tunes they were; 'Love Me Tender', from the tune of 'Aura Lee' from 1956, 'It's Now Or Never', already caled 'There's No Tomorrow', and first known as 'O Sole Mio', a song Elvis went to nomber 1 with at the end of 1960, 'Wooden Heart', a German song, and 'Surrender' from 1961, also a song from Italy. The American trilogy was Elvis singing 3 remembered folk songs. The guy who said that Paul McCartney wrote the song 'Those Were The Days' is mistaken because that song was writen in 1963 and first recorded by the folk group The Limelites. The song that McCartney wrote for Mary Hopkin was in 1969 and caled 'Goodbye'. Someone had a hit with 'Wild Mountain Thyme' in 1992 but I do not know the artist who had the UK hit. If any one knows who this was then please let mke know!
