Max Bygraves - The Pendulum Song

[terrystewart3]

Thanks for posting this. I had the wonderful privelege to meet Max and his lovely wife yesterday, whilst I was doing a show. I asked Max to join me for a song and it was such an honor to sing with him! Can you please tell me what were Max's biggest hits as I will be seeing him again soon and would like to be prepared with a few of his songs and surprise him! Thanks for your help.

@terrystewart3 - Terry, Max's best remembered songs were back-to-back on one single. - 'You Need Hands' & 'Tulips From Amsterdam'. That was in 1958. Anyone who grew up in the 1950s will also remember two children's favourites - 'You're A Pink Toothbrush' & 'Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogen By The Sea. It's good to know that dear old Max is still up for a sing-a-long. Good luck with your next show, and if you get a chance do tell him about this early clip of him on The Pendulum Song.

@kester1940 Thanks very much for your help. Hopefully I can find the backing tracks for these songs. I will mention to him about this song being posted on youtube, and all the others. Cheers.........Terry
