One of mine (out of many) I Will.Survive by Gloria Gaynor - great words and voice. Recently used in stop smoking commercials here in the USA. Reply #1. Nov 21 18, 5:01 PM |

I thought Gloria Gaynor had lots of hits, or am I misunderstanding the concept of this thread? An odd one from1967 that always sticks in my head is 'Kites' by Simon Dupree and the Big Sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQAm4wcK0vo Reply #3. Nov 21 18, 7:48 PM |

I just looked up Gloria Gaynor and there's nothing else as memorable to her name, it seems. I must have been mixing her up with someone else. Reply #4. Nov 21 18, 7:59 PM |

OMG, Mix, Kites......I haven't thought about that song in years, but when I first heard it, aged about 15, I was totally obsessed with it. I used to doodle kites in my schoolbooks and sing it constantly under my breath. Thanks for the lovely reminder :-) Reply #5. Nov 22 18, 6:37 AM |

UmberWunFayun. On day, not too long ago, a bit of the tune and a few of the words came into my head, but I wasn't able to find it for a while because I couldn't remember the title. It was frustrating. Eventually I remembered enough to find it. I remember it sticking on my brain too at the time. Reply #6. Nov 22 18, 10:16 AM |

"In letters of gold on a snow white kite, I will write, I love you And send it soaring high above you, For all to read" It's so poetic! On another note, how about My Sharona by The Knack? Reply #7. Nov 23 18, 5:02 AM |

99 Red Balloons by Nena was another great, catchy song. Reply #8. Nov 23 18, 5:03 AM |

"Macarena" – Los Del Rio I think Gloria Gaynor had another hit with 'Never can say goodbye' Reply #12. Dec 18 18, 5:34 AM |

This is a strange song by Dr Strangely Strange. It's called 'Strangely Strange but Oddly Normal' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9TgqHISO0U Reply #13. Jan 11 19, 6:19 PM |
