Douglas' playlist
Gladys Knight & the Pips – You’re The Best Thing That’s Ever Happened To Me.
My dear wife Susan and I first heard this song together not long after our first meeting over 40 years ago.
ABBA – Thank You For The Music
Reminds me of my lovely mum and dad. Our
whole family love ABBA and I could easily pick all ABBA tunes!
Candi Staton – Young Hearts Run Free
Great memories from teenage years – often hanging around the tennis club with pals, especially during the hot summer of 1976.
G.R.L. – Ugly Heart
This song invariably generates a reminder of dancing with
my four children, nieces, nephews and in-laws, at our big family parties.
Joe 90 (TV show theme tune)
Always triggers thoughts of happy childhood days, growing up with my sister and two brothers.
