Funny Debbie one of mine would be Josh Grobam....You Raise Me Up and another would be The Dark Island....played on the bagpipes but my favourite goosebumpy song though is An Ubhal As Airde....Runrig (Gaelic Rock band) Christine Andy, used to love Rufus Wainwright singing Hallelujah, but got sick of hearing that song since they used it in Shrek, as the kids have watched it about a million times....does put you off! LOL

Any song by Josh Groban (at least any he sings in English) Anything played on the bagpipes makes me cry like a baby. (BIG SUCK) Of course theres always new country songs like In My Daughters Eyes - Martina McBride

CB ;-) WOW its brilliant to see someone mentioning “The Nun’s chorus” from Casanova by Strauss it certainly does it for me. I searched for another copy of that record as we had it at home & it had gone astray somewhere, ours was the Joan Sutherland (I know later she became Dame Joan) copy its absolutely beautiful. Also Verdi’s “Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves” and Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” sublime. Besides classical music these are some that do it too. Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song” (Reggae) I. Kong’s “ The Way It Is” (Reggae) Marvin Gaye's 'Mercy Mercy Me' (Soul) The O’Jays’ “Ship Ahoy” (Soul) The Supremes “Someday We’ll Be Together” (Soul) CB have to disagree although Jimmy’s brother David Ruffin didn’t do so much as a solo Artist he was the main man (lead vocals) on most of the 1960’s Temptations tracks, and that’s the era that is seen as the high point of their careers and the temps as a group. I actually prefer late 1960’s - 1970’s line up with Dennis Edwards but still the later Temps had the lovely falsetto voice of Eddie Kendricks in there. Temptations happen to be my favourite soul group. Most people would hear David's voice as that on 'My Girl' which people seem to love very much. On the subject of footie one thing brings tears to my eyes when I see a packed Stadium of Liverpool and Celtic fans and they are all singing the same song that’s tremendous and although I don’t like that song that moment is absolutely wonderful the song “You’ll Never Walk Alone” what sport is all about. There are so many songs and tunes but i just love music so much :-))) it suits all moods pick a mood then pick a track there is always something to choose for the moment ;-) Pat x

Thanks for all your replies. I asked because I've been compiling CDs for the last night at 'my' pub and there have been all sorts of requests. The songs on the CDs for me are: Baddiel & Skinner - 3 Lions (reminds me of watching England lose to France last year, I started a fight with a customer because he said England were crap!) Atomic Kitten - The Last Goodbye (I met my ex's family in the pub and when we split I played it a lot, it has lots of sentimental value) Stevie Wonder - Isn't she wonderful (On my last shift last night they played this and the whole pub sang to me... they made me cry!!!) love becx

Hi All Great thread I have to agree with Kaye with REM and Everybody Hurts but it also is associated with a very sad time in my life, the last post I wiil always love you (no 1 when Ist son born) Things will always get better (No 1 when 2nd son born and was really poorly) And even tho' I hate to admit it that Danny boy gets me every time Kaz PS Also feel goosebumps when hear 'Three lions' and sing at top of my voice (not nice, I assure you!)

I forgot to add Hymne L'Amour by Edith Piaf and If You Were Here Tonight by Alexander O'Neal to my earlier list. Paul, Yep, I've seen Jimmy Ruffin live - probably before you were born! His brother David's 1976 hit Walk Away From Love is another favourite. Shame he didn't do much else. CB >|<

Billie Holiday's 'Strange Fruit'. I first heard it when I was very young and learning about civil rights. Up until then, I had a vague concept that racism meant children shouting 'blackie' in the playground and not much else. After hearing that song, I realised just how brave the civil rights protesters were to simply seek equality.
