Hmmm depends how old is old

I love Ella fitzgerald's Cole Porter stuff, less jazzy and more soul in it.

'Everytime We Say good Bye' is awesome

Slightly newer but still very old:

Maggie May - Rod Stewart (I don't really like him but love that song)

My Brother Jake - Free

what do you make of the current trend to make modern songs retro ?

e.g. paul anka's 'rock swings' album or the baseball's 'strike' ?

i find them entertaining at the start (i have both CDs) but they lose their attraction after a few plays

not like the old classic swing numbers, which i, like you, could listen to time and again

IMHO, some people can do "swinging music" better than the others.

I like the attempts by Rod Stewart and Michael Buble, however, I do not like those by Robbie Williams.

Not sure who sang the below... but always nice to hear..

Hush little Baby, don't say a word,

Daddy's gonna buy you a mocking bird.

If that mocking bird don't sing,

Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring.

If that diamond ring turns to brass,

Daddy's gonna buy you a looking glass.

It that looking glass gets broke,

Daddy's gonna buy you a billy goat.

If that billy goat don't pull,

Daddy's gonna buy you a cart and bull.

If that cart and bull turn over,

Daddy's gonn buy you a dog named Rover.

If that dog named Rover don't bark,

Daddy's gonna buy you a horse and cart.

There's a version on you-tube of Carly Simon and her then hubby James Taylor doing a live in concert version, where Carly is looking well fit.
