Communication

50s, 60s, 70s, Nostalgia, Songs

It’s probably the most important tool we humans have and it’s become more diverse than ever. Songwriters have long written about communication and the lack of it in relarionships. Cliff Richard has two offerings this week exhorting his partner not to talk in Don’t Talk To Him and lamenting the lack of talk in the song We Don’t Talk Any More. Non verbal communication is also important as expressed by Bobby and Laurie in Through The Eyes Of Love and Emile Ford and The Checkmates’ cheeky What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For. Aussie ex pat Rick Springfield (Speak To The Sky) and our first top ten indigenous performer Jimmy Little (Royal Telephone) communicate with a higher being.
