My parents were born in the late 20's and were teenagers during the war. I grew up in the sixties, with my mom filling the house with 'big band' music. Even my high school principal, Mr. Rudder would play Glenn Miller over the school PA system every morning before classes started. This one's for you Mom and Mr. Rudder.

My Mum was a big Motown fan and liked loads of different Motown acts. My Dad only seemed to like the Carpenters and was mercilessly barracked for that, even to this day (he was 90 last week and we put a couple of their tracks on the party playlist!)
Anyway, it has to be the long version of this one. An intro to die for and the strings

Mercifully, my mum wasn't that arsed about music back then (she's way more into it now). Of all the albums I remember her having, the only song that entertained me at all was this one.
I was lucky in that my brother and sister are older than me so I grew up listening to punk and new wave.
Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. He runs like a cheetah, his crosses couldn't be sweeter. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore.

My mum used to play the soundtrack to 'Evita', .my dad James Galway. When I was 16 I left home, moved into a squat, took as many drugs as I could get my hands on and listened to the loudest music possible, but, alas, I never really recovered from the initial trauma.

Lots of Irish music. Some good (rebel songs etc), some terrible (e.g.Daniel O'Donnell).
Also not in our house but growing up in Harlesden a backdrop of reggae music was common.
Haha I remember being on holiday with my Dublin-born mother in Donegal - my first 'gig', as a 6 year old, was a guy with his acoustic guitar in the hotel bar.
I absolutely lapped up the likes of Whisky in the Jar and the number below...but mum made a point of packing us little English-accented kids off to bed "when the rebel songs started".

When I grew up my brother had just come back from army service in Berlin. The US soldiers turned him on to jazz. Soon the whole family were jazz fans.
My mum sang this to me in the bath, also Try A Little Tenderness - but she didn't have many records, so it was years before I knew who they were by and managed to buy them...falling in love big time with both Louis Jordan and Otis Redding's catalogues.
My Mum and Dad used to have these K-Tel albums in the mis 70's. There was one called Souled Out and this song below was the one I remember liking the most.
Just found the below.
