1st March 2007: I set off alone to walk from Land's End to John O'Groats; a LEJOG of 1,687 miles, taking me four months. I walked in memory of my father, Jeff Sloman, and raised over £6,000 for Sue Ryder Care. I posted to the blog every day of the walk. This blog lets you know how it all went and what I have been up to subsequently.
Thanks for dropping in. Please feel free to make comments.
Hi David: I do like the pace of Dusty's version, but the orchestration is all a bit melodramatic towards the end....
What am I thinking of! Two grown men talking about Dusty Springfield... Harrumph - in deeper manly tones... I quite like the version by the composer, Michel Legrand from back in the sixties (but it's in French).
She could have had me,you know, that Faye Dunaway.
ReplyDelete''like the circles that you find....'' Dusty did a lovely version but this is my fav

OM: She missed out, eh?
Dusty was a great singer; would have been in any era. 'Goin' back' is one of my all-time favourites.
ReplyDeleteOM, Alan's right; time to stop beating yourself up: Faye had her chance; she'll have to live with the regret.
The Byrds version of "Goin' Back" is better than Dusty's version.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with the anti-windfarm stuff, Alan. I am doing my bit here in Wales. Not getting very far but chipping relentlessly away.
