Russ Conway - Ma (He's Making Eyes At me)
Great number from Russ on "Tops In Party Pops"
Russ Conway, DSM (born Trevor Herbert Stanford, 2 September 1925 - 16 November 2000) was an English popular music pianist.
Conway had 20 piano instrumentals in the UK Singles Chart between 1957 and 1963, including two number one hits.
Conway was born in Bristol, England.He won a scholarship to Bristol Cathedral Choir School, and was largely self-taught on piano as he whiled away hours as a youngster during a three-year term in borstal. His father then let him join the Merchant Navy.
Conscripted into the Royal Navy during the Second World War in 1942, he served in the Merchant Navy from 1942 to 1948, and was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal as signalman in a minesweeping flotilla "for distinguished service, efficiency and zeal" in clearance of mines in the Aegean and operations during the relief of Greece 1944-45. During his Navy service, he lost the tip of the third finger of his right hand while using a bread slicer. He was discharged on health grounds because of a stomach ulcer.
Conway was talent-spotted while playing in a London club, signed to EMI's Columbia label and spent the mid-1950s providing backing for artists on their roster, including Gracie Fields and Joan Regan. He recorded his first solo single "Party Pops" in 1957, a "medley of standard songs" which included "Roll the Carpet Up" and "The Westminster Waltz".
Between 1957 and 1963, Conway had 20 UK chart hits, achieving a cumulative total of 83 weeks on the UK Singles Chart in 1959 alone. This included two self-penned number one instrumentals, "Side Saddle" and "Roulette", the latter deposing Elvis Presley's "A Fool Such As I". He was a fixture on light entertainment TV shows and radio for many years afterwards, appearing at the London Palladium on a number of occasions and becoming a regular on the Billy Cotton Band Show for several seasons. He also made recordings as a vocalist. Many of his hits feature accompaniment directed by Geoff Love.
He was the subject of This Is Your Life in 1959, when he was surprised by Eamonn Andrews during a recording session at the BBC's Studio 1 at 201 Piccadilly, London.

Another fantastic song from the 1960s I was 8 when this song was out but have very good memories of this song better days than now
best skater there ..winner goes to the camerman lol
What is it about? It's so vague...
I always thought this was a far better song than 'Where do you go to'. A bigger, fresher sound, a proper big, sweeping orchestra, full of sun.
Did He credit Geroge Harrison?
The strings are genius
Great
COME ON YOU BLUES!
🎉
😢😭🤧
Why did they take the colors out here?
ERROR on your note: Perry Como recorded the song in New York City on August 31, 1954. The song was released by RCA Victor The US release peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard chart IN THAT SAME YEAR. It couldn't have peaked before Perry recorded it in Aug. 1954! Obviously, it peaked in Jan. 1955.
Great song
CRAP! This lady is so underrated! What no wonder the Beatles used her Piano!
Sure wished I could have danced like that back in the day
And me mate
Wunderlich Lied ! Erinnerungen meine Jungenzeit ! 1972 !❤❤❤
Rip the two peters.
Ah the great trip.
This is from the movie Chopping Mall.
The music reminds me of the Tomorrowland movie by Disney.
I loved Olivia and Michael Beck!!! Only seen him in The Warriors (he was great there too), but here, he's the lead man in a romantic musical. Love and always remember Olivia🌹🌹🌹
If you dislike Dolly, there is something wrong with you.💙💙🩵
This is not a cover of the Stqple Singers I'll Take You There. This is the original, the copied the intro among things. Respect to the late Harry Johnson. Paul Williams
I've got Respect Yourself on single.
Love is a big stack of pancakes, with all that cinnamon, and maple syrup BADDA-BUMP-A-BUMPA BUMP! Can't you just feel 'em in your belly?
I was 4 years old when this came out loved it then ❤ love it now ❤
Memories ❤🏴
The lead singer had a great voice.
I love it!❤
I wore tuxedo to this song
I remember enjoying this song when I was in 3rd grade in 1966. I just recently was able to identify who the singer was thanks to UA-cam. RIP Mr. Darren…
James William Ercolani aka Jimmy Darren "Moondoggie" Rest In Heavenly Peace 🙏🏽✝️🥺😞💔🌹🕊🎬🎥📺
Don't figure out my age, but I remember hearing this on the radio.
Lovely memories... 1974
Love this tune, grew up with it as my sister brought it, now i hear Chelsea FC which is a shame, come on Arsenal ha ha😊
This reminds me of being about 9 years old and a strange, difficult time. My father was terminally ill but it was not particularly discussed. It was a weird phase in life that has lived with me.
Gary and The Playboys had the most beautiful lyrics to all their songs, especially this one!
Still got this on a single
Back to back times I search and find the drifters music on 2005 kdrama #SassyGirlChunHyang. Cool instrumentals late 50's early 60's. What I gathered from the first song. 👍
1970s. Great music. I admire the way people dressed in those days. People dressed better than today, and they looked better looking.❤ xx
Yes whatever happened to black music ? It seems to now have deteriorated into monotony.
My uncle’s friend had a record store in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I bought this recording in that shop in 1963, as a 10 year old. Great memories!
Sends your mind to another place ❤❤
Loved this movie and cast of characters, just terrific!
I love it but f*** off Wanderers West Ham 🔨
Were there ever any other songs from this 'Teenage Opera'?
Frozen Orange Juice well worth a listen so sad how Peter passed but he left us his music 💜👍🎸
Quintessential 60s ❤
Frozen orange juice, everybody's talking, Wichita lineman, hauntingly beautiful and remembered for a lifetime
Quite agree Ian. All wonderful songs and all in my top 10. Best Andy
Sad to read that shes no longer with us, what a lovely woman, like her so much... 😢
We hate rent boys “Tottenham “🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of the best 60s songs. Thought provoking lyrics.
