I DO remember listening to Radio Caroline which I presume what the movie is sort of named after. We lived through a very fortunate time in the 60's. The culture was changing, the world was getting smaller and lots of people appreciated everyone else! The music was scintillating in the quality of the rhythms. Perhaps the structure was a little simple ( i.e. 3 or 4 chord changes) but the beat was right on. Here is what Bill had to say
Bill Nighy: "All the usual suspects... I'm a big Stones man, I've never really recovered from that, and The Who, and from the movie I particularly dig those two tracks. I like American black soul music, that was my first big enthusiasm, and I like Marvin Gaye and Aretha Franklin and all of those people - Otis Redding, Atlantic Records, Tamla Motown when it came along. I love them all I guess. And more than anyone, Bob Dylan. I listen to Bob Dylan on most days and he remains the single most important artiste in my life. Van Morrison also is big on my list."
He forgot to mention "THE BEATLES" and all those groups from Mersey side. We even had a little jazz .... Acker Bilk etc. and Skittle Groups like Lonnie Donegan. Donovan also deserves a big mention as do many others. I was a fan of Leonard Cohen. Still am. Have a look at some of the items on Utube. Just type in Utube and his name. Some fabulous stuff. Have included one link if you need it.
We maybe did not use the espression then but hey THAT"S COOL.
