michael holliday RUNAWAY TRAIN

[MrsKsays]

Love this. It's one of my earliest musical memories.  He had a beautiful voice.

[puppetaxe]

The BBC's Children's Favourites on Saturday mornings, and other favourites: Little Sir Echo, Pink Tooth Brush...ah, what great memories!

[tnorthy92]

I'm 19 and I like this song, used to listen to it on holiday with grandparents.

[Gannett2011]

I'm a bit younger (40) but remember this on Junior Choice with Ed Stuart in the 70s.

[weeyin1155]

Great upload. Gosh....it's been a long time since I last heard this. ☺ Thanks to you and to Annie who shared. ♥

[annie482000]

@weeyin1155 Does it bring back childhood memories, Jan?

[weeyin1155]

It does Annie. It was out the year I was born, but it must have been a record we had, as I can well remember it. ☺

[annie482000]

Ahh, a childhood favourite of mine. Good to hear it again!

[palexandersquires]

It was all the fireman`s fault! the fireman said he rang the bell, the engineer said you did like ++++!

[annie482000]

@palexandersquires Heheheheh.................yeah­, that line used to make me smile when I was little!

[mastergx1]

catchy old tune, heard it on the radio the other day

[ThePreacher1st]

Yep! And my Dad sang with him on Clacton Pier before he became famous. It was my dad who taught him stage presence - which obviously worked. My Dad gave it up for my mother whom he loved very much - to only then lose her to some Scotsman later on. That, more or less, finished my Dad's bid for the top along with this man who were the best of pals back then.

[DoctorRadio]

He looks like and SOUDNS like Russ Abbott. Any relation?

[ptfocus]

brillant

[erudite1100]

Great voice in another erae he would be king.

I still sing this song to my grandchildren.

He is a great singer.

[phulme61]

Yes I just wanna say again that Michael was a great singer with many great songs and I'm happy that many of them are now on YouTube!, so we can now convert them to MP3's....

[LadyPenny6]

Great record, expertly sung, arranged and performed. By far the best version of this song, a great favourite of children of many a generation.

[ppaulmorris]

Uncle Mac. Wonderful memories

[annie482000]

@ppaulmorris Ahh, the good old days of "Children's Favourites" on the old BBC Light Programme!

[sorr3nto]

I sang this song to my kids 20 years ago they loved it, so they tell me now.

[Devil2maylaughhaha]

Omgodddd. I used to be obsessed with this bloody song when i was like 3!! I used to sing a long to it on the record player when i was playing with my Thomas train set in the early 90's! I still whistle it today and finally bought it on CD. If your interested, the album is "24 Original All-Time Children's Favourites

"

Listened to this on Junior Choice as a kiddie. Lovely Tenor voice - sad he took his own life. Thanks for posting. :-)

[ProductTestingClub]

It was played about as much as The Teddy Bears Picnic on children's requests, Saturday. for years!

[oldseadog2]

Brilliant,this song strangely enough started my interest in railways when I was a little kid.And has lasted to this day.

[fifelad55]

Oh what memories. I used to love this song (it was on a 78 rpm) as a 5 or 6 year old.
