You really need to check out the ‘carene cheryl/karen cheryl batterie’ (‘carene cheryl/karen cheryl drums’ in French) on YT to see what I mean. Turning my attention to C.C./K.C., one of my most remarkable discoveries about her was her First Prize-winning talents as a drummer. This was, after all, the Valérie Čižmárová from the prodigiously talented 17-year-old in 1969 to the spectacular run of singles from what I think of as ‘that year’, when she turned 21, which I think were almost an album to themselves. Well, so did Valérie Čižmárová, posthumously, hitting the top of the Czech hit parade as it began to hit home, in death, how undervalued she’d been in life. The Carpenters had an album out of their hit singles from 1969 – 1973. I especially approve of your chosen soundtrack of The Carpenters from both the Valérie Čižmárová and Carene Cheryl/Karen Cheryl points of view.

In fact, that was one of the triggers behind my setting up that Blog on female Pop east of the former Iron Curtain, mostly in the Seventies because it really struck home how many of the Sixties Girls, certainly in Czechoslovakia, managed to power into the Seventies as a slightly younger generation, including the likes of Valérie Čižmárová, also came on-stream further to bump up the numbers, which signally wasn’t happening here, sadly enough.Ī Small Selection Of Some Of My UK 1950’s /60’s 45RPM Records ( 1080p HD ) | Retro British TelevisionĪ very nice-looking collection, RBT and thanks for uploading this!
1 in the UK in June 1965, the very heart of the Sixties. It’s strange that Sandie Shaw should be associated therewith since I have a post on her at my ‘Girls Of The Golden East’ Blog, entitled ‘A sign of the (TV) Times?’ making a contrast between her prominence in a very racy front-cover photo in a ‘TV Times’ from 1972 and total lack of chart action in the 1970s, which seemed to characterise many of her fellow Brit Girls of the Sixties as we wore into the new decade – a particularly cruel note for Sandie being here that – from one of my Pop ‘Bibles’ ‘The Warner Guide To UK & US Hit Singles’, by Dave McAleer – ‘Long Live Love’ had been the on-the-month No. Sandie Shaw – Long Live Love ( 27 th December 1973 ) In High Definition | Retro British TelevisionĪh! Yet more synchronicity with the world of Valérie Čižmárová – the day of the recording of her pair of soft Seventies Soul swingers, ‘Spousta příběhů’ (‘Lots Of Stories’) and ‘Zrzek’ (‘Redhead’), the former with a very Seventies sitcom signature tune vibe. Since the extensive comments I passed on the videos posted by ‘Retro British Television’ have now themselves disappeared into the ether here they are, copied and pasted out of my email inbox as comments ‘hearted’ by ‘Retro British Television’ for the pleasure of ‘Girls Of The Golden East’ Blog readers. It has been an especial pleasure linking those editions in with the events and personalities relevant specifically to ‘Bananas For Breakfast’, generally to ‘Girls Of The Golden East’ and also to the wider context in which these two Blogs came into existence.
Unfortunately – and this happened literally in front of my very eyes earlier this evening, as I write – this superb channel no longer exists.

Over this past week or so I have been enjoying the offerings on the YouTube channel, ‘Retro British Television’, most especially for the old editions of the classic TV programme, ‘Top Of The Pops’.
