I remember LuLu so much from To Sir with Love. What a great time; I was just a kid, but I was on the cusp of preadolescence and it was so fun trying to grow up listening to this music. The Bhive ROCKS!!!

I can remember everyone you mentioned except Millie Small. <br /><br />The 1960s is to this very day my favorite era of the 20th century, though I was too young to participate in the revolutionary concerts (Beatles, Rolling Stones, Woodstock, etc) and social movements. But these things along with the first landing on the moon, TV and film, etc., so inspired me as a kid.<br /><br />Three of my favorite female pop songs of this era were "Snowbird" (1970) by Canadian-born Anne Murray; "Downtown" (1965) by British invasion megastar Petula Clark; and "Goldfinger" theme song of the title James Bond movie by goddess Shirley Bassey, who apparently is still the best selling female British artist to date. <br /><br />It's hard to believe that Murray was born in 1945, Bassey in 1937, and Clark in 1932!<br /><br />Oh how I miss the sense that a new era was upon us with limitless possibilities for a society (despite all the social upheaval) framed by freedom of expression over conformity, love over hatred, peace over war. <br /><br />Thank you, <br />RattusRattus Scribushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03504345408685635451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814571527221132156.post-65312725814205273702009-09-27T08:04:05.798-07:002009-09-27T08:04:05.798-07:00Hi Bonnie!

She was unrecognizable as Marie-Thérèse. What wonderful songs came from these women!!
