    Well I think I am the oldest, I was born a month before the charts where stated, therefore to make me fell very ancient mine is from the sheet music chart :-) and its Vera Lynn, and the homing waltz, do I win a prize? PS 15-10-52. God I feel bloody old now.

    The Shadows - Apache

    How cool do they look here?

    Dude that is f***ing awesome.
    I've never seen that before - I'm used to seeing the showbiz style TV performances with the "Shadows walk" and the inane grins.
    Also, that's the original band with Jet Harris and Tony Meehan - how cool does Jet look with his leathers and woodbines.
    Fantastic - thanks for posting that

    Just before my appearance on the scene the charts had been dominated by Don Welch and his Wembley Wonders and their stirring rendition of 'The Red, Red Robin' (with yodelling by Bert Turner). Unfortunately, by the time I arrived, Raich Carter and his Baseball Boys were on top with the very forgettable 'It's Drizzling In Derby'. But whilst Derby were one hit wonders, Don and the boys hit the big time again with 'Do The Duffy', a dance that involved a lot of running about. Hits have been few and far between since those halcyon days and the band has undergone many personnel changes but their loyal fan club continues to live in hope.
