21st December 1963
Host Brian Matthew

1) Billy J Kramer & The Dakotas - "I'll Keep You Satisfied"

2) Cilla Black - "Love Of The Loved"

=======================================

"Thank Your Lucky Stars" was a British television pop music show made by ABC Television, and broadcast on ITV from 1961 to 1966. Many of the top bands performed on it, and for millions of British teenagers it was essential viewing. As well as featuring British artists, American guests were frequent visitors.

Audience participation was a strong feature of "Thank Your Lucky Stars", and the Spin-a-Disc section, where a guest DJ and three teenagers reviewed three singles, is a very well remembered feature of the show. Generally American singles were reviewed.

The Merseyside specials are very fondly remembered and gained huge audiences.
The show bowed out in the summer of 1966, after two thousand artists had appeared on it.

People today have no imgaination when it comes to fashion. Plus, schools and workplaces have relaxed dresscodes to the point of nonexistence, and parents don't bother to teach their children proper grooming, and the schools don't dare discipline a child for it, for fear of a lawsuit. It's not that good clothing costs too much - even jeans and graphic T-shirts are expensive. People would rather spend money on those than more dignified outfits. Even personal hygiene has gone out the window.

The instrumental on "Love of the Loved" remains a favorite of mine when it comes to placing an identity of UK music of the 1960's as it stand out among anything else say...from the US.
